Werner is undoubtedly one of the most prolific goal-scorers in European football and has been in sublime form for RB Leipzig, racking up an astounding 21 goals and 9 assists in 23 league games so far this season.

The 23-year-old forward is young enough to be considered a long-term investment for Liverpool but is also experienced enough to handle the pressure that the Premier League demands. He already has three-and-a-half seasons with the Bundesliga leaders under his belt and has also been a part of Germany's FIFA World Cup squad last summer.

An academy product of VfB Stuttgart, Werner has proven himself to not only be a capable goal-scorer with sublime dribbling capabilities and a keen eye for goal but he is also accustomed to the high-pressing and fast-paced tactics that Jurgen Klopp employs at Anfield. These qualities would definitely ease his adaptation into the Reds' starting XI alongside the likes of Salah, Mane, and Firmino, giving the team an almost-immediate edge for the rest of the season.

A move to Merseyside would also see Werner reunite with Naby Keita, with whom he shared an amazing connection at Leipzig, and could serve as the beginning of another enticing partnership in the Premier League.
