Statistics suggest that if a trade is possible, Garnacho would be an upgrade over Werner for Spurs as he provides more quality at the top end of the pitch per 90 games. He’s also good for his age at just 20 years old and is a dynamic attacker who loves to run at defenders.
If this is the deal the Lilywhites can pull off, they will have the perfect replacement for Werner and a player who still has time to develop under Postkoglu’s tutelage.
