Top 5 U-23 strikers who could take the World Cup by storm

#1 Timo Werner

Germany's new goal machine Timo Werner

Defending world champions Germany will be going to Russia confident of defending their title. With a strong, young but experienced squad, the squad will be made up of a mixture of players who featured in the Confederation Cup squad and the Rio World Cup squad.

Timo Werner could be a huge threat for Germany as the young striker will is a clever inside forward with a steady eye for goal. Heaped with the burden of replacing the great Miroslav Klose, the greatest goal scorer in World Cup history, Werner has his task cut out for him.

The RB Leipzig player has been in good form this season although it has dipped a bit since the start of the campaign. However, Werner is a goal machine and there is no better player in Germany who could replace Klose. Werner could cause teams massive problems with his pace, skill and intelligence.
