'In my head, Werner is my player' - Nagelsmann eager to keep Bayern Munich target

RB Leipzig coach Julian Nagelsmann says he wants to keep striker Timo Werner at the club despite reported interest from Bayern Munich.

Werner's contract at the Red Bull Arena is set to expire at the end of this season and the Bundesliga champions have been heavily linked with a swoop for the 23-year-old.

Leipzig CEO Oliver Mintzlaff admitted in April that Werner was unlikely to sign a new deal, meaning the club may be forced to sell him now or risk of losing the striker on a free transfer next summer.
