Dani Olmo lauds Liverpool, Chelsea target Werner: He's an aeroplane!

Timo Werner has been described by RB Leipzig teammate Dani Olmo as an 'aeroplane'.

The German has been linked with Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United.

Olmo toldMundo Deportivo: "I really like Peter Gulacsi, the goalkeeper, and the defence we have, Lukas Klosterman, Dayot Upamecano and Marcel Halstenberg. Upamecano is the future of France and the other two are Germany internationals.

"Then there are Christopher Nkunku and Patrik Schick, who have great quality, and Timo Werner, who is an aeroplane.

"In general, the whole team has youth, quality and self-confidence."

On Upamecano and Angelino, Olmo continued: "Upamecano is very good.

"With the ball he is very safe. I see him as a very complete centre-back.

"In one-on-one situations he is very powerful, very difficult to beat. He is very young, only 21 years old and is one of the best centre-backs."
