#5 Timo Werner
Many maybe hadn’t heard of Timo Werner before this season. Starting out at VfB Stuttgart, the recently capped Germany international played over a century of games for his former club, scoring just 14 goals before his move to RB Leipzig last summer.
This season has seen RB Leipzig challenge Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga, whilst it wasn’t without the help of Werner. His 21 goals in 31 league games made him the highest scoring German as the Bundesliga new boys finished runners-up, qualifying for the Champions League for the first time in their history.
As a result, Werner was awarded his first Germany call-up by Joachim Low in March. Although he has just one cap to his name, expect Werner to start for Germany in Russia. The youngster could potentially become one of Die Mannschaft’s best players if he remains grounded.
