In news you didn’t expect to be reading today, it would now appear that Tottenham star Timo Werner is taking a vested interest in Sheffield Wednesday.
The Owls have a new celebrity supporter, according to Alan Nixon of The Sun.
So, why is Werner taking a big interest in Sheffield Wednesday all of a sudden? Let’s take a closer look.
Timo Werner is closely following Sheffield Wednesday
Werner made the move from RB Leipzig to Tottenham in the January transfer window, with Ange Postecoglou taking the player on loan.
The 27-year-old is also taking an interest in Wednesday and The Sun has been explaining why.
When Danny Rohl was appointed to the position of head coach at Hillsborough, he appointed a completely new backroom team.
One of the figures he called upon was Sascha Lense who has worked in roles at RB Leipzig, Manchester United and Schalke.
Now, he’s at Wednesday but he also happens to be the Father-in-Law of Tottenham striker Werner.
With that in mind, the 57-cap Germany international is now taking a close interest in the fortunes of Wednesday.
Wednesday claimed an important 2-1 win over Bristol City yesterday and they now have a big chance to survive in the Championship this season.
Werner following Wednesday might the most surprising story of the day
Given the controversial and erratic nature of being owned by Dejphon Chansiri, nothing surprises Wednesday fans anymore.
For the fan base, just one day of nothing out of the ordinary coming out of the club is met with delight.
Now, this news story is an intriguing one and is something a bit light-hearted for the Wednesday fans to get their teeth into.
Werner is now clearly hoping that Wednesday will remain in the second tier, given that it impacts his relative.
The Owls have given themselves every chance of survival now and Tottenham striker Werner looks to have everything crossed for Wednesday.
