Timo Werner

The German got a confidence-boosting goal in the 3-1 win over Southampton at the weekend but it has been a very difficult eighteen months for the striker since his arrival from RB Leipzig.

Werner’s inconsistency in front of goal is a major frustration and it looks as though that, despite his high salary, he will be a squad player going forward.
