Looking good, but perhaps he's performing way beyond his underlying stats?
His numbers show steady improvement (he's 24) & the kind of sustainable overperformance on xG that you'd expect from a good finisher +recent underperformance on xA. Stronger teammates will help that.

But the Bundesliga isn't the PL. Is there a drop off in performance for players that come from the BL?
Here's a pertinent example...
Aubameyang (xG90 / xA90)
BL 15/16 - 1.02 / .24
BL 16/17 - 1.01 / .15
BL 17/18 - 1.02 / .16 (^Jan)
PL 17/18 - .78 / .11 (Jan+)
~25% drop off

If Werner were to suffer a 25% reduction in his underlying stats he'd still likely outperform Jimenez, Ings, Martial, Vardy & Kane. Not Aguero - but then his stats are phenomenal.
He'd also likely be in the race for the PL golden boot.
At £9.5m he looks kindly priced.

How about the eye test?
Here's a video of all of his Bundesliga 19/20 goals
Pace, strength & composure. Poachers goals too. Aerial duals might be a weakness. Could be very dangerous on the counter against other strong teams.
Is he in your GW1 team?
