Man Utd, Liverpool target Werner: Fun to play in Premier League

RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner has again talked up the prospect of moving to England.

Werner is one of European's hottest properties and Premier League sides such as Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea have all been linked with the German striker.

"When you score 20 goals as a 23-year-old in a season then, of course, there is interest. That's clear," Werner told Kicker.

"We are going into many important games. That's what I want to focus on now. I can still contemplate my future later."

The German forward has admitted he sees himself playing abroad one day, but doesn't have a specific club in mind.

"What do you say if a club comes knocking in the next two weeks, a club which is one of the favourites to win the Champions League and makes an incredible offer? Most likely every player would think about it," Werner said.

"I can generally imagine playing abroad one day, although I don't have any specific club where I want to be.

"I am open for everything. I was over in America for a holiday recently and English football was on all of the time. That's an exclamation mark for the Premier League. But there are also big, famous clubs and it would certainly be fun playing there."
