Stephen Warnock has told The Daily Star that RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner would be a good signing for Liverpool in the summer transfer window.

The former Liverpool defender, who now works as a pundit for Sky Sports, has explained why Werner would make the Reds a better team.

Warnock has also said that the Germany international striker would enjoy working with Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.

According to Sky Sports, Werner has a release clause of £52 million and wants to join the Reds, who are interested in securing the services of the 24-year-old striker this summer.

Warnock told The Daily Star: “Away from home I think Werner would be really dangerous because of his pace and Liverpool’s counter-attacking football.

“He would enjoy the prospect of working with Klopp, although what you’d ideally want is for him to have a full pre-season to understand what the manager want.”

Werner has made 24 starts and one substitute appearance in the Bundesliga for Leipzig so far this season, scoring 21 goals and providing seven assists in the process, according to WhoScored.

The striker has also made seven starts and one substitute appearance in the Champions League this campaign, scoring four goals and providing two assists in the process, according to WhoScored.
