Timo Werner has

405 club games
150 goals
79 assists

One thing looking through his stats on transfer market his numbers shoot up when he's playing under a Manager who favours a high press.

Also 57 Germany caps
24 goals.

I've always thought he was a good player, although he probably was a tad underwhelming at Chelsea possibly due to the high transfer fee. Still had decent numbers though.

He does sometimes have a weird tendency to be the best player on the pitch and the worst player at the same time.

I think it could be a great bit of business though, our style will suit him down to the ground and definitely has the potential to score and assist plenty for us.

Smart and low risk signing if it happens.

I also think that we as a collective fanbase have been spoiled by having prime Kane and Son for the last decade. Kane in particular.

Werner's 15 goals on average per season is perfectly fine and something that most strikers would love to have. Son used to average like 12 league goals up until just a few years ago.

And obviously most strikers are going to be a step down from Harry Kane. He's Harry Kane.

At some stage with Son aged 32 later this season, we will need to face the possibility of replacing him.

So maybe we have taken the opportunity to get someone in early to see his credentials before we need to take a decision - the forward planning many fans criticise the club for not doing ?

I was thinking that myself. He's got 5 years on Son so, if he manages to find his shooting boots, as Blakey has already posted, he's as close to Son as you can get.

Let's not forget that Son has had his spells of shitty form where he couldn't hit a barn door either.

I really hope this one does come off for him. A fit, firing and confident Werner playing our type of Football?

Mouthwatering...
