Timo Werner is one player who has been linked with Liverpool, and was urged by Sadio Mane and former Leipzig team-mate Naby Keita to join the Reds.
Liverpool have largely made reinforcements to their midfield and defence, and arguably picked up the bargain of the season in Xherdan Shaqiri to strengthen their attack.
However, Jurgen Klopp’s side were dumped out of the EFL Cup and the FA Cup in the early stages, and that’s something the Reds will want to improve on next season.
To do so, Liverpool will need more depth in their team, and Werner’s addition would make them a much stronger squad.
We take a look at three reasons why Werner would be a good fit at Liverpool.
#3 Werner has already played in a similar set-up
Under Ralph Hasenhuttl first, and now and Ralf Rangnick, Leipzig play a high-pressing game, which isn’t different to what Liverpool were doing a year ago under Klopp.
Liverpool’s style has changed in the last few months as the Reds have become a much more patient side, Werner’s movement in the attacking third would be a good addition to the team.
Werner plays in a more possession-based set-up for Germany as well, so his game has developed in the last few years for him to fit in under the Klopp blueprint.
