Timo Werner explains Premier League admiration amid Liverpool transfer links

RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner admits he "would think about it" were Liverpool to make a move.

The German has enjoyed his most prolific season to date for the Bundesliga club having scored 25 times in 28 games.

But those exploits in front of goal have attracted interest from elsewhere with a host of Premier League clubs interested.

Liverpool as well as Chelsea and Manchester United have an interest in the 23-year-old, but he is relaxed about the situation insisting his form will always lead to speculation of a move elsewhere.

He told Kicker: "When you score 20 goals as a 23-year-old in a season then, of course, there is interest. That's clear.

"But, right now, I am not thinking about what happens in the future.

"We are going into many important games. That's what I want to focus on now. I can still contemplate my future later."

Leipzig are currently top of the Bundesliga and have drawn Tottenham in the Champions League knockout stages.

It is the German club's first appearance in the latter stages of the competition and Werner has been key to their success under Julian Naglesmann.

But the forward admits it would be difficult not to contemplate a new challenge with one of Europe's giants were they to make an approach.

He added: "What do you say if a club comes knocking in the next two weeks, a club which is one of the favourites to win the Champions League and makes an incredible offer? Most likely every player would think about it."

The Reds have been linked with a frontman for the past year or so as they look to provide both cover and competition for their established front three.

Rumours continue to swirl over the possibility of one of their leading lights seeking pastures new which would intensify their interest in Werner.
