With a whopping 20 goals from 21 Bundesliga appearances so far this season, he finds himself sitting fourth in the rankings for the European Golden Shoe. Only Robert Lewandowski and Ciro Immobile have scored more goals than he's done across Europe's top-five leagues as it stands.
Having the same number of goals with the iconic Cristiano Ronaldo and moving clear from last year's champion, Lionel Messi is a fantastic feat for the German finisher. With the way he is going, Werner is expected to a score few more goals before the end of the campaign. Who knows? He could go all the way and make the Golden Shoe his own.
