Timo Werner - RB Leipzig's Goal Scorer

Timo Werner has been breaking records from the moment he burst onto the scene as a teenager with VfB Stuttgart. Now with RB Leipzig, the milestones have continued to tumble for the jet-heeled striker, who has reached 200 Bundesliga appearances at the age of just 23.

While Werner's Stuttgart career was record-breaking in many ways, the stats show that beyond his youth and blistering pace he didn't really set the Mercedes-Benz-Arena alight. Thirteen goals in 95 Bundesliga games is not the healthiest of returns, and when the club were relegated in 2016 Werner saw his chance. Newly promoted Leipzig came knocking, looking for young, fast and hungry players as they prepared for their first season in the Bundesliga. His 62 league goals for Die Roten Bullen is by far a club record in the top flight and he has finished as top scorer in all three of Leipzig's Bundesliga campaigns, scoring double figures each year after failing to get beyond six in a season for Stuttgart.
