5 replacements for Karim Benzema at Real Madrid

Athletic Club v Real Madrid - La Liga
The end is nigh?

#3 Timo Werner

AS Monaco v RB Leipzig - UEFA Champions League
Werner is Germany's best forward right now

The 21-year old German forward is certainly a bright prospect. Already showing his mettle at Leipzig in the Bundesliga and also for Germany in Confederations Cup, he has scored 8 goals in 15 league matches. His lightning pace and movement add to his primary capability which is goalscoring.

After developing well at Stuttgart where he played as a winger, Werner has done well in his new role of leading the line. His goals last season were key as Leipzig made it to the Champions League for the first time in their history.

He is often compared with the great German forward Miroslav Klose as he has some similarities with the German legend. At the age of 21, Werner has achieved a lot and he knows that he must keep up the good work.
