Premier League table toppers Liverpool will be able to sign RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner for £61m according to reports emanating from the media in Germany.

According to German newspaper Bild, RB Leipzig want to insert a £61m (€70m) release clause in the player’s contract as they try to prevent the player from leaving the club on the cheap.
