Liverpool fans have flocked to Twitter to respond to the latest transfer update surrounding RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner.
This comes after Liverpool fan account @LFCTransferRoom shared a post on their Twitter page relaying information originally published in a report by The Athletic.
The report claims that the Reds are “stepping up their interest” in Werner resulting in fellow Premier League side Chelsea to “focus” on Lyon’s Moussa Dembele.
Would Timo Werner get in the team ahead of Roberto Firmino?
Yes
No
This post then gathered a lot of replies from Liverpool fans who were eager to share their thoughts on this latest development.

The German, who is currently valued at £72 million according to Transfermarkt, has been in tremendous goalscoring form so far this season, having scored 27 goals in 36 appearances for Leipzig in all competitions (per Transfermarkt). Now that it has been reported that the Merseyside club have increased their interest in bringing the 24-year-old to Anfield this summer, this news has excited a lot of Liverpool fans who couldn’t hide their feelings on Twitter in response to the news.
I beg we get him. Front 3 have been lacklustre all season need competition

What do we think?
The Reds’ current first-choice striker Roberto Firmino has only scored 11 goals in 41 appearances in all competitions so far this season, so considering Werner’s record, maybe a move for the German could help improve the attacking power in Liverpool’s frontline. Given Werner’s stunning goalscoring return so far this season, it’s understandable why these Liverpool fans have been drooling over this latest news.
