Former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann believes Timo Werner would be 'better off' at Manchester United or Chelsea than Anfield.
Werner has been consistently linked with a move to Liverpool after scoring 26 goals in 32 games for RB Leipzig so far this season.
And while Hamann expects Werner to secure a move to a top side in the summer, he's not certain it should be Liverpool.
Hamann wrote for Sky Germany: "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.
"I trust him to play in a very big team soon. It is of course an honour for him to be linked to 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."
Hamann believes that Werner would struggle to dislodge Roberto Firmino from Liverpool's starting line-up and would face a similar struggle should he be moved out wide.
There are no such issues at either Manchester United or Chelsea, however.
He added: "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."
