Timo Werner took the Bundesliga by storm last season. He scoref 21 league goals to take RB Leipzig to a surprise runners-up spot. His form has dipped this season, mustering on 13 goals in the league this term.
He is expected to lead the line for Germany this world cup and he will hope to make a big impact. His name has been swirling in transfer rumours for quite some while now. Therefore an impressive tournament would help the cause greatly.
The quality of players around him is significantly better in the national setup and it will enable him to unleash his burgeoning stock. Traditionally German strikers have excelled at the biggest stage and Werner’s will love to emulate predecessors like Miroslav Klose and Lukas Podolski.
