Werner was on a sensational form for RB Leipzig until the football season got suspended because of the Coronavirus spread. The German striker amassed 27 goals and 12 assists in 36 games across all competitions.
Under the management of Julian Nagelsmann, RB Leipzig was contesting for the Bundesliga title and was giving a tough fight to Bayern Munich for the title, in which Werner played a crucial role.
