By the start of next season, Timo Werner could be a Liverpool player. The Reds appear to be at the front of the queue for his signature and there is optimism on Merseyside that a deal can be done.

But if history is anything to go by, there is one number Werner would definitely fancy.
Werner wore the No 19 shirt at Stuttgart, the club where he first burst onto the scene.
For that reason, it's more than likely that he would happily wear it again. It has huge sentimental value to him already.
Werner currently wears the No 11 shirt at Leipzig, but that is taken by Salah.

It used to be worn by Roberto Firmino until the Egyptian moved to Anfield from Roma.
The Brazilian kindly accepted the chance to vacate it for his new team-mate.
The No 19 at Liverpool has been free since Sadio Mane left it at the start of last season.
Mane took Philippe Coutinho's No 10 shirt shortly after he left for Barcelona.
Liverpool are optimistic that Werner will just provide added firepower to their frontline, as opposed to being a replacement.
