Timo Werner has hailed Jurgen Klopp as the best coach in the world and believes he would fit in well at Liverpool.

Werner spoke out after Red Bull Leipzig’s Champions League victory over Spurs during the week but had more to say following today’s win at Schalke.

The German also said he believes his style of football would fit in well if he joined the Reds
‘Jurgen Klopp is the best coach in the world,’ he told Sky Germany.
‘There is a lot to suggest that my style of play would suit there (Liverpool).’
This comes after the 23-year-old said he was proud of the transfer links, claiming the Reds are the best team in the world.
‘I know that Liverpool is the best team at the moment in the world and when you are linked with that team it makes me very proud,’ he said after his goal against Spurs.
The striker scored his 21st Bundesliga goal of the season meaning he now has 27 in all games
‘It’s a pleasure but I know that Liverpool play a lot of good players and I have to improve myself and I need to learn many more things to get to that level and to play there.’
Werner has 27 goals in all competitions for Leipzig this season and is thought to have a release clause of £51million.
However, reports have suggested that is due to expire in April meaning Liverpool and any other potential suitors would have to act quickly if they are to avoid paying a higher fee for the forward.
