Liverpool Face Dortmund Threat For Petite Attacker

Liverpool have to see off the competition from German Bundesliga leaders Borussia Dortmund in their pursuit of RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner.

The Daily Mirror claim that Borussia Dortmund are the latest club to be linked with the petite attacker.

The 22-year-old has been the subject of transfer interests from clubs like Liverpool and Bayern Munich.

Timo Werner has less than 18 months left on his contract with RB Leipzig and he has so far frustrated his German club in their bid to get him to sign a contract extension.

RB Leipzig chief executive Oliver Mintzlaff has already warned the player that he risked being sold in the summer if he fails to sign a new contract.

Timo Werner has been in sensational form for RB Leipzig and its no wonder that a lot of European clubs are on his trail.

He netted 11 goals in 17 matches before the new German Bundesliga season went on break last month.

His RB Leipzig’s form this season is in stark contrast to the one that he endured for the German national team at last year’s FIFA World Cup tournament in Russia.

Timo Werner didn’t score or assist any goal as Germany crashed out of the tournament in the group stage.
