Werner is one of the hottest properties in German football and even participated in the 2018 World Cup. The forward is out of contract in 18 months and could be available in a cut-price deal. The Express

The youngster hasn’t played for the first-team yet, but there are tons of expectations from the Englishman at Anfield.

The 18-year-old has had some poor luck with injuries and is recovering from ligament damage presently. The report

adds that Jurgen Klopp believes the teen will become a major part of his first-team squad once he returns to fitness.

The Reds will evaluate their options in the next pre-season, and decide whether they want to sign a new striker or not, according to the report.
