RB Leipzig have played down claims Timo Werner is heading to Liverpool- saying he's heading to Tottenham for the Champions League instead.
Reports in Germany have this Wednesday claimed the Reds are 'serious' about signing the forward in this summer's transfer window, amid claims they made contact with Leipzig in January.
Liverpool have been linked with a move for Werner for quite some time, amid claims they have considered triggering his £50million release clause.
Bild, via Sport Witness, claimed Liverpool's plan in January was to sign him and then loan him back to Leipzig for the remainder of the season.
It added that Liverpool are in pole position to land the forward, suggesting the deal will eventually materialise at some point or another in the next few years.
But RB Leipzig have made it clear that they're not on board, with the club's official Twitter account tweeting in response to the speculation: "We heard. He is headed towards Tottenham though."
Leipzig take on Tottenham in the first leg of their Champions League Round of 16 tie on Wednesday.
Jose Mourinho's Spurs have a match before this, and travel to Birmingham on Sunday to take on relegation-threatened Aston Villa in the Premier League.
A win for Spurs would see them leapfrog Sheffield United in fifth and potentially move within a point of London rivals Chelsea.
