Emil Forsberg has sent out an ominous warning to RB Leipzig's Bundesliga rivals, telling bundesliga.com that Timo Werner is in the right place to keep finding the back of the net.

Forsberg and Werner have played together since Germany's No.9 arrived in the summer of 2016, and Forsberg has seen the incredible rise of the former VfB Stuttgart forward from promising prospect to glittering international star.

Speaking after Sweden's 1-1 draw with Spain in Stockholm, an upbeat Forsberg spoke about how Leipzig will only continue to get better under coach Julian Nagelsmann, and how fun it is to play with the likes of Werner and Yussuf Poulsen.

bundesliga.com: It's been a good start to the season for Leipzig. How do you explain that?

Emil Forsberg: "We started really well, played really well, but we're still under development. We have a new coach, a new system, some new ideas, so I think we're still developing. We have a young team. I think we're just going to get better and better."

bundesliga.com: You've got a new system, a new coach…Usually it takes quite a long time for these things to gel, but the squad seems to have adapted to Julian Nagelsmann's philosophy very quickly.

Forsberg: "He's been making some small adjustments now, small adjustments every week. We just keep improving, keep doing our thing. We have good players who understand football, who like football. That means that the step is not that big. We keep learning every day. He likes to play football, we like to play football, so that makes things easy."

bundesliga.com: What things has he been changing specifically? Is it in terms of strategy, mentality…

Forsberg: Yes, but also in terms of possession, how we think when we have the ball, how to help each other in different situations. That's the main thing.
