Liverpool and Chelsea are reportedly interested in Timo Werner.
It has been reported that Chelsea have opened talks over the transfer of Werder this month, while Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is a “long-time admirer” of the 23-year-old striker.
Klopp was waiting until the summer of 2020 to make a bid for the Germany international striker, but Chelsea making a move has changed his stance, according to the report.
Stats
Werner has scored 20 goals and provided six assists in the Bundesliga for Leipzig so far this season, according to WhoScored.
The striker has also scored three goals and provided one assist in six Champions League games so far this campaign, according to WhoScored.
During the 2018-19 campaign, the Germany international striker made 29 starts and one substitute appearance in the Bundesliga for Leipzig, scoring 16 goals and providing seven assists in the process, according to WhoScored.
January transfer unlikely?
Werner is a key figure at Leipzig, and it is hard to see the German club sell the striker in the January transfer window, especially as they are at the top of the Bundesliga table at the moment and are aiming to win the league title.
