‘Werner the wrong option for Liverpool’ – Reds don’t need a ‘proper goalscorer’, says McManaman

Liverpool are unlikely to need or want Timo Werner any time soon, says Steve McManaman, with the RB Leipzig striker recognised as a “proper goalscorer” but not the kind of player that fits into Jurgen Klopp’s system.

It has been suggested that those at Anfield have a Germany international striker in their sights.

Despite already boasting an abundance of riches when it comes to attacking talent, the Premier League leaders are forever in the market for further reinforcements.

Werner, at 23 years of age, would bring plenty of current ability and future potential with him to Merseyside, while Liverpool have no player of his ilk already on their books.
