Arsenal join race to sign Liverpool target

 

Arsenal are the latest side to show an interest in RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner, who has also been courted by Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United, reports the Sun. 

 

The 21-year-old striker has been in flying form for the Bundesliga outfit this season, chipping in with 10 goals and three assists. 

 

Werner netted twice in RB Leipzig’s 3-1 win over Napoli on Thursday night, with his performance earning him the WhoScored man of the match award. 

 

His outing will have only intensified speculation over his future in Germany, though RB Leipzig are confident they can retain the services of one of their star man.

The Bundesliga outfit value Werner at the £50m mark and that figure may increase over the coming months, with the young forward expected to be part of the Germany squad for the World Cup. 

 

That price is unlikely to deter potential suitors from making a move for Werner, who recently reject a new deal from RB Leipzig. 

 

Arsenal are now considering a move for Werner with manager Arsene Wenger looking to bolster his forward line, though they’d face stiff competition from a host of Premier League rivals, along with Madrid pair Real and Atletico.
