Honigstein revealed that the Merseyside club could announce the signing of Werner in August or September before adding that there is a big chance that Werner will become a Liverpool player this summer.
This news then gathered a lot of replies from Liverpool fans who were eager to share their reactions to this latest development.

Would Timo Werner be a good signing for Liverpool?
Yes
No
The 24-year-old has been in sparkling form, having managed to score 30 goals in 38 appearances for Leipzig so far in this campaign. Werner’s latest appearance for Leipzig saw the striker score a hat-trick in their 5-0 victory over Mainz at the weekend (per Transfermarkt). Werner’s impressive goalscoring record this season may be a big reason why Liverpool are reportedly trying to secure the striker’s services this summer.
Get it done!!! Then replace Lovren, Lallana with world class young players

What do we think?
The fact that so many Reds fans are getting excited by this latest news claiming Werner could be announced as a Liverpool player in the coming months just goes to show how much they want to see the German make the move to Anfield this summer.
