And Nagelsmann is not expecting to keep his star striker beyond the end of the current season.

'I do not expect Timo to be here next season,' the 32-year-old told DAZN after Leipzig secured a 2-0 win over Hoffenheim on Friday.

Prior to his move to Leipzig in 2016, Werner came through the ranks at Stuttgart. He was part of his country's winning Confederations Cup campaign in 2017 and also represented them a year later at the World Cup.
