Liverpool: Pundits discuss possible Timo Werner transfer
Liverpool must add similar depth to their squad that Manchester City have, according to Reds legend Phil Thompson. The Sky Sports pundit believes his former club should sign RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner to provide competition to the current front three. Werner is reportedly open to a summer move to Anfield but the Merseyside club are not prepared to activate his £52million release clause at this current time.
Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino are once again Liverpool's top scorers this season, having netted 47 goals between them in all competitions.
Thompson hopes the addition of a player such as Werner would motivate, rather than upset, the trio.
And he says it is a signing Liverpool need to make to ensure they continue to battle it out with City in the years to come.
"I would like to think [Werner signing] would challenge them," Thompson told Sky Sports News.
