BERLIN, Feb. 19 -- Timo Werner might just have used another goal opportunity when taking a penalty in the Tottenham arena to secure RB Leipzig's 1-0 victory in the last 16-round. But the 23-year-old's first strike after 451 goalless minutes against Premier League side Tottenham was much more than another ordinary chapter.
The German international passed an important exam on the international stage. His winning goal might be opening the doors to his next step such as to join a club of top international class abroad.
Having gambled away several promising goal opportunities, the Stuttgart-born striker proved mental robustness.
Over the recent weeks, the forward has been the object of growing speculations talking about the severe interest of different clubs such as the 2019 Champions League winner Liverpool FC.
Some German media talked about the chance to attract attention in advance of the East-German's journey to the English capital.
Therefore, Werner must have witnessed he is going to be under close observation after he called the Premier League, one of his favorite competitions.
After having scored 20 league goals in the current Bundesliga campaign after 22 rounds of matches, Werner seemed to be somehow affected by the rumors around him. It took him five games without scoring to end the debate about his quality when it comes to the crucial challenges.
In Leipzig, the 27 times capped 2017 Federation Cup winner can count on an exit clause allowing him to leave as early as next summer for 60 million euros.
