Former Liverpool star Dietmar Hamann has advised Timo Werner to join Chelsea or Manchester United over a switch to Anfield.
Werner has starred for RB Leipzig this season and even bagged the only goal of the game between his side and Tottenham in midweek in the Champions League.
The 23-year-old is expected to be highly courted in the summer window but amid links with Liverpool, Hamann actually feels that the forward would not be best suited playing for Jurgen Klopp on Merseyside.
Instead, he believes the German international is an ideal fit for either Chelsea or United.
"Timo Werner has continuously improved, he has scored again in the Champions League and has already scored more than 20 goals in the Bundesliga this season," Hamann said.
"I trust him to play in a very big team soon. It is of course an honour for him to be linked with Liverpool. The question is: does he match Liverpool? For me he is strongest when he comes through the middle and can use his greatest weapon: his speed.
"With (Roberto) Firmino, Liverpool have a striker who is always playable and connects a lot with his team-mates. If Werner went to Liverpool, I would rather see him outside, but there are two absolute grenades in the team with (Sadio) Mane and (Mohamed) Salah.
"If none of the three strikers get injured or move, he won’t play and I don’t think that’s what he wants.
"Liverpool is the absolute benchmark, but in my view he would be better suited to Manchester United or Chelsea."
