Timo Werner: RB Leipzig always want to achieve more

RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner wants to add more silverware to his trophy cabinet, starting with the Supercup against Bayern Munich on Saturday.

Werner lifted the DFB Cup with Leipzig in June, scoring five goals in five games on the way to beating Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0 in the final, with Christopher Nkunku and Dominik Szoboszlai finding the target that day.

Nkunku and Szoboszlai have since left for Chelsea and Liverpool respectively, but Werner is excited to play alongside some of the players signed to replace them, such as Benjamin Sesko, Lois Openda and Xavi Simons.

The Germany striker has given his verdict on last season and has outlined his personal goals for the upcoming season.

"I think overall for the season, we would've wanted to get off to a better start, which would've given us a bit more momentum, but then also halfway through the Rückrunde we dropped points in some easy games, which meant we didn't have enough to challenge at the top of the table," said the former Chelsea frontman, who had a disappointing spell at the Blues before returning to Leipzig where he first rose to fame.

"You always want to achieve more, even in terms of just scoring goals. You always want to improve, you want things to get going, obviously last year with my first bigger injury, that was something new for me after 10 years without one, it was strange finding my way back into things. But now it's a new season, I'm fit again, and the preseason I had this year is something I've not had in the last two years because of injuries or other things. So I want to do more this year."
