Timo Werner is in the form of his life at RB Leipzig right now.
The Germany international scored twice in the Bundesliga against Union Berlin on Sunday to take his tally to 20 for the season. That he means he is now joint-top of the goalscoring charts in the division along with Robert Lewandowski, and his total tally for the campaign is now up to 25 in all competitions.
Can you name the result these iconic Liverpool images belong to? Give it a go now…
He has been heavily linked with a move in the past few weeks, with Liverpool now said to be going head-to-head with Chelsea for his signature – his reported price tag is £60m. Bild, meanwhile, say that Anfield is his preferred destination.
This final bit of news has been heavily discussed, and the fans appear to be happy with the update on the whole.
Given his stunning form in Germany so far this season, it makes sense that they would want him to make the move to Liverpool.
Others, meanwhile, believe that his arrival would be good news for the fears they could be affected by the African Cup of Nations.
With the African tournament being moved to January, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah, as well as Naby Keita, could all miss a fair few games. As such, some back-up options would not go amiss.
There is also a consensus that everyone wants to join Liverpool at the moment.
Given they are the European champions and currently lead the Premier League by a full 16 points – with a game in hand – it is no surprise that many stars would like to make the switch to the north-west.
It remains to be seen where the 23-year-old ends up.
