If anyone needed any statistical evidence that Deniz Undav has been the most impactful and effective attacker for Julian Nagelsmann with Germany, well, OptaFranz has you covered.

Undav is averaging a goal every 57 minutes — yes, one goal every 57 minutes! The VfB Stuttgart, who Nagelsmann himself threw some shade at not too long ago, is now looking like Germany’s best option to man the No. 9 position:

57 – Deniz Undav benötigte für Deutschland im Schnitt nur 57 Spielminuten pro Tor (6 Tore in 342 Minuten) – das ist die beste Quote aller Nationalspieler seit Amtsantritt von Julian Nagelsmann (mind. 2 Einsätze). Argumente. pic.twitter.com/V6ZTtUGUAj

57 – Deniz Undav has averaged just 57 minutes per goal for Germany (6 goals in 342 minutes) – that’s the best ratio among all national team players since Julian Nagelsmann took over (minimum of 2 appearances). Facts.

Undav’s three goal contributions (two goals, on assist) led Germany’s 4-0 victory before the striker left the match with a knock. Per reports, it is nothing serious — and that is a good thing for Nagelsmann and Germany.

If Undav can stay healthy and hot, Germany might have a legitimate threat at the No. 9 position.
