San Jose Earthquakes on the Cusp of Historic Signing: German Forward Timo Werner
The San Jose Earthquakes are reportedly closing in on a monumental deal to sign highly decorated German forward Timo Werner, who has experience in the Bundesliga and Premier League. According to The Athletic, Werner would become a designated player for the Quakes, marking a significant move for the team's attack.
Werner's arrival comes at a crucial time for San Jose, which lost key striker Josef Martinez to Tijuana in the offseason. With 60 goals scored last season, the Earthquakes still trail behind several teams in terms of goal-scoring prowess. However, Werner's presence would undoubtedly bolster their attacking capabilities.
The 29-year-old Werner has a storied international career, boasting 24 goals in 57 games for Germany and participating in the 2018 World Cup. His experience also includes playing for top-tier clubs like Leipzig and Stuttgart, where he won several major titles including the UEFA Champions League, Europa League, and Club World Cup.
Werner's impressive record is reflected in his overall goal tally of 151 across all club competitions, with 114 coming from league play. If the signing takes place, Werner would offer San Jose a fresh start as they look to revitalize their attack and push for improved results in Major League Soccer.
