The new Klose, Werner is the new kid on the block and will be confident of leading the line for a Mannschaft team that is geared to go all the way at the World Cup finale.

A sharpshooter who is dangerous in the box, Werner possesses a phenomenal work rate and has the hold-up play of a more seasoned pro. The unassuming Werner has had a phenomenal rise to the top since his transfer to RB Leipzig from VfB Stuttgart.

Werner will be confident of having a decent shout for the Golden Shoe given the quality of the German midfield and the confidence that playing in the UEFA Champions League and his second full season at senior level with Die Roten Bullen will give the youngster.

His record of 6 goals in 8 senior appearances is phenomenal and he looks set to increase that tally when the World Cup comes around.
