Timo Werner

Timo Werner, a prolific German professional footballer, secured the Gold U-17 Fritz Walter Medal in 2013, recognizing his exceptional talent before making his senior debut for VfB Stuttgart the same year. At 17 years, four months, and 25 days, he became the club’s youngest-ever player in an official match. Werner quickly set further records, becoming the youngest goalscorer for VfB Stuttgart against Eintracht Frankfurt in 2013 and the youngest player to score two goals in a Bundesliga game in November 2013 against SC Freiburg. Following a professional contract with Stuttgart, he continued to break milestones, becoming the youngest player to reach 50 Bundesliga appearances.

During this second stint, he contributed to securing the DFB-Pokal in the 2022–23 season and the DFL-Supercup in 2023. Most recently, Werner joined Tottenham Hotspur on loan, where he was part of the squad that won the UEFA Europa League in the 2024–25 season. Parallel to his club achievements, Werner has been a key player for the German national team. He was instrumental in Germany’s victory at the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup, where his impressive goal-scoring secured him the tournament’s Golden Boot award as the highest goalscorer.
