‘Werner should expect bench duty at Liverpool’ – New signing will face ‘big challenge’, admits Aldridge

Liverpool need to bring in another attacking option, admits John Aldridge, but Timo Werner has been warned that he will probably have to make do with life on the bench at Anfield if he is the option that Jurgen Klopp turns to.

Speculation regarding a raid on RB Leipzig by those at Anfield in the next transfer window continues to rage.

Germany international Werner is considered to tick many of the boxes that Jurgen Klopp looks for in a forward, as a prolific presence in the final third who is also willing to work hard for the collective cause.
