Former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann doesn't think Germany forward Timo Werner would be a good signing for the club.
The RB Leipzig attacker says he would be ready to move to Anfield if his 55-million Euro transfer release clause was met and Phil Thompson believes he'd be an ideal capture for the Premier League champions.
But 2005 European Cup winner Hamann has told Sky Sports News that he feels Werner isn't as good as the current front three of Sadio Mane, Mo Salah and Roberto Firmino:
"Today in the papers, they're saying that he doesn't want to go to Bayern Munich. He's always expressed how fond he is of Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool, the club that he maybe wants to join.
"But the thing with Liverpool is you've probably got the best front three in world football. If you play out wide for Liverpool, even though the full-backs like to go on the overlap, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane are both very tricky players, they are very skilful and Werner is not that type of player.
"His biggest asset by far is his pace and if I watch games now, even at Anfield, with Liverpool being so superior to most teams, most of them sit back and if you deny Werner space, he's a lot less effective. If you look at his goal record for Leipzig, his goals this season has been outstanding, but they like to play on the counter-attack and they're not really a possession team. I don't think he's got the trickery to play out wide as Mane and Salah have."
