Wagner: 'I'm the best German striker'

Bayern München's new striker Sandro Wagner makes a confident claim.
In Bayern München's 5-2 demolishing of Hoffenheim in the weekend, the Bavarians' new forward Sandro Wagner was sent onto the pitch in the end of the match and ended up scoring his first goal for his new club.

Afterwards, the 30-year-old was brimming with confidence, declaring himself "the best German striker".

"In my eyes I’m the best German striker. And without relying on statistics, as I couldn’t care less about those. To me, It’s just important that my performance is up to standard. I’m with the best team in Germany, scored a goal, and so I’m where I should be," he said according to Bundesliga.com.

"Today was just a quick match. But I’m glad as I’ve scored my first goal for Bayern. I’ve had 30 minutes on the pitch and already scored a goal. It feels good," he added.

Wagner has played eight matches for Germany and scored four times.
