Liverpool: Pundits discuss possible Timo Werner transfer
Timo Werner has been tipped to sign for Liverpool over Chelsea this summer and play in the same way as Fernando Torres did for the Reds. Former Bayern Munich and Manchester United player Owen Hargreaves believes the RB Leipzig striker will be a fit wherever he goes, but would fit in better at Liverpool than anywhere else.

"I think Timo Werner is going to score goals wherever he goes. But it comes down to personnel. He will be doing this, doing homework on who will be a good fit for his game," he told The Mirror.
“We saw this with Fernando Torres when he left Liverpool.
“The way Liverpool played they were an incredible defensive team, with Steven Gerrard playing those balls through the middle and it was a match made in heaven.
“Then he goes to Chelsea where they had a lot of slow possession and there was no space for Fernando to run into.

“In the end, that’s not a great fit. He was a super player, Chelsea were a super team but you've got to play to a player's strengths.
“I think Timo Werner is that type, the Fernando Torres type, where he is super explosive, he will run away from anyone.
“Having that ability to run in behind and into that space, it would suit his game. When you think about a team like Liverpool they do that. They counter and transition better than anyone. He would suit them.”
