# Liverpool fans delighted by Timo Werner update

Plenty of Liverpool fans have expressed their delight after reports claimed Timo Werner wants to complete a move to Anfield.

[According to Bild](https://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/fussball/premier-league-liverpool-trainer-klopp-an-rb-leipzigs-werner-dran-67436962,jsPageReloaded=true.bild.html#remId=1609798987882374163), Liverpool are Werner’s “preferred goal” if and when he does go on to leave RB Leipzig.

[The Sunday Mirror recently](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/liverpool-want-60million-timo-werner-21307635) claimed that Chelsea had opened talks over a £60m move for the player, but [Bild’s](https://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/fussball/premier-league-liverpool-trainer-klopp-an-rb-leipzigs-werner-dran-67436962,jsPageReloaded=true.bild.html#remId=1609798987882374163) report suggests that he now has his sights set on a potential future switch to Anfield.

These Liverpool fans on Twitter are understandably delighted by the news.

### Read Liverpool verdict

Could you really blame Werner for wanting a bit of the action at Anfield? The Reds finally look set to end their wait for a Premier League title this season and as the current champions of Europe; is there anywhere better for him to play his football right now?

The only concern that could come with a potential move for Werner is how and where he may fit into the squad alongside Roberto Firmino. Described by the [Bundesliga’s official website](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/news/Bundesliga/what-is-timo-werner-s-best-position-germany-winger-rb-leipzig-striker-512323.jsp) as ‘direct’ and ‘pacy’, Werner may not neccasarily fit the profile of player that could come in and perform a similar role to Firmino.

The Brazilian, who has previously been [described](https://www.fourfourtwo.com/news/roberto-firmino-jurgen-klopp-liverpool-explains-why-so-important) as the club’s “connector” by Jurgen Klopp, is a crucial cog in the Liverpool team. Trying to fit both players into the same XI – without losing any of the Brazilian’s influence – could tempt Klopp into tweaking his system.
