RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner on Liverpool radar

Liverpool are believed to be watching RB Leipzig's Timo Werner.

The 21-year-old striker has been in sparkling form for Leipzig with 14 Bundesliga goals this season since joining from VfB Stuttgart for £8million.

Liverpool scouts have been closely monitoring Leipzig players for about a year and it is understood that Werner has emerged on their radar having scored 11 times in his past 14 outings.

Werner's pace is seen as perfect for Jurgen Klopp's pressing game style at Anfield.
