17 goals in 28 games: Liverpool fans urge club to sign 21-year-old speed machine
By Will Butcher
Liverpool fans have pleaded with their club on Twitter to enter the summer transfer window for Red Bull Leipzig wonderkid Timo Werner.
The Daily Mail claimed last month that Werner is one of three RB Leipzig stars being eyed by the Merseyside giants, along with Naby Keita and Emil Forsberg.
The 21-year-old has been in electric form this season for Bundesliga’s surprise package Leipzig, who sit second behind leaders Bayern Munich despite only being promoted last term.
Former Stuttgart ace Werner has scored 17 goals in 28 Bundesliga games for Leipzig, and he is renowned for his blistering pace that allows him to glide past opponents with consummate ease.
He added to that tally on Sunday, as Leipzig secured an away 1-1 draw against Schalke at the Veltins Arena.

Could easily spend £100m shopping at Leipzig this summer. Naby, Werner and Forsberg.
— Klopp (@BundesligaLFC) April 15, 2017
Werner would be a good fit for Klopp and address needing a striker to press like Bobby. He is young enough to develop as well.

Werner has a contract at the Red Bull Arena until the summer of 2020 and is likely to cost a hefty transfer fee if he is to be lured away from Leipzig in the summer.
