Klopp opens up on Timo Werner move with Chelsea in driving seat

Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, has spoken about his admiration for RB Leipzig striker, Timo Werner.

Klopp, however, admitted that the uncertainty brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, made it difficult to make a move for his compatriot.
Werner had been heavily linked with a switch to Liverpool, but their Premier League rivals, Chelsea are now close to signing him.

“Timo Werner is a great player, Kai Havertz is a great player.
“Right time, opportunity – everything has to come together.
“Six, seven weeks ago, we didn’t know if we could play again this year,” Klopp told Sky Germany.

Werner has a €55m release clause in his deal, which expires on Monday, June 15.
