Liverpool 'challenge Chelsea in pursuit of prolific RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner' as both sides look to strengthen attacking options

Liverpool are challenging Chelsea for £60million RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner, according to The Mirror.

Werner is one of the most coveted forwards in the European game and has attracted interest from Bayern Munich and Real Madrid as well as the two Premier League sides.

And initially it was the Blues who appeared to be in pole position for the 23-year-old Germany international after having their transfer ban reduced late last year.

But Jurgen Klopp is also a fan of the Leipzig forward - who has struck 20 goals in 18 Bundesliga appearances so far this season - and is now prepared to go head-to-head with Frank Lampard to get his man.
