Germany and RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner has made claims that he is not yet a world class player. Speaking to the official Bundesliga website shortly after being named in Germany’s final World cup squad the former Stuttgart proteje said he is yet to join the elite class of forwards.
”For me Robert Lewandowski, Luis Suarez and Antoine Griezmann are world-class strikers, I’m not world-class yet. If I’m honest, I probably need to play for another club to reach world-class level, but I still have four or five years to learn, and to become world-class.”
The 23 year old has scored 24 league goals in the past two seasons and set up the winning goal in last season’s Confederations cup Final match against Chile.
