McManaman doubts Werner up to handling Liverpool move

Liverpool legend Steve McManaman doubts if Timo Werner is ready to 'step up' to play at the club.

The RB Leipzig forward is reportedly a target for Liverpool and Chelsea.

McManaman told BT Sport: "There's people like Werner who has been linked with a move to the Premier League and Liverpool, but I do not know if he is ready for that step up yet.

"He's young, he's quick, he's got an eye for goal, he has played for his country.

"It would be great if Liverpool could acquire him just to strengthen the squad, he is only going to get better. Has he got the quality to usurp the front three? Probably not yet. But he is certainly one for the future."
