Liverpool still keen on €55m Werner
The German striker could be Premier-League bound
After RB Leipzig star Timo Werner admitted he was proud to be linked with a possible move to Anfield, Liverpool themselves seemingly remain intent on bringing him to England.
Speaking on beIN Sports, former Premier League striker Jan Aage Fjortoft claims the Reds are still keen to sign Werner.
“Bayern Munich turned him down because they’ve got [Robert] Lewandowski. But I feel that Klopp and him could be a good combination. We know he’s got a clause of €55 million ($59m), and in this market that is quite cheap," he said.
“So no Liverpool haven’t pulled out.”

Speaking after the club's 2-0 Premier League win over West Ham, the Spaniard stressed his intention to remain regardless of whether the ban remains active or not.
"Why should I leave? I said a month ago, I love this club, I like to be here. Why should I leave?," Guardiola said.

Werner 'proud' of Liverpool links
RB Leipzig star Timo Werner is "proud" to be linked with a possible move to Premier League leaders Liverpool but believes his game must improve to earn the right to play alongside Anfield's current attackers.
The 23-year-old scored the decisive goal in Leipzig's 1-0 win over Tottenham in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on Wednesday night to continue his strong season in front of goal.
Werner has now struck four times in the Champions League this campaign to go with his 20 Bundesliga goals from just 22 league matches.
As he continues to star in the Champions League, Werner has inevitably been linked with transfers to some of Europe's biggest clubs and he's been particularly flattered by reported interest from the Reds.
