Arsenal threaten Liverpool interest for RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner

Arsenal have joined the interest in RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner.

The Mirror says Arsenal are joining Liverpool's interest for Werner.

The striker has been handed an ultimatum by RB Leipzig.

His club aren't happy about his dithering and have told him he can go if he doesn't sign a new deal.

Werner, 22, has scored 11 goals in 17 games for the Bundesliga side.

RBL chief Oliver Mintzlaff said, "A club like us cannot afford to go with Timo Werner in a final contract year.

"It's logical that such a player should be courted by clubs that have a very different sporting perspective and different financial possibilities than we have.

"But as long as we develop as a club, and of course the Champions League participation would be very helpful, I believe that Werner is still in good hands with us.

"If Timo does not strive for the highest possible salary, then it would be a good investment in his sporting future."
