Werner 'proud' of Liverpool links as Leipzig star aims to earn right to play at Anfield

RB Leipzig star Timo Werner is "proud" to be linked with a possible move to Premier League leaders Liverpool but believes his game must improve to earn the right to play alongside Anfield's current attackers.

The 23-year-old scored the decisive goal in Leipzig's 1-0 win over Tottenham in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on Wednesday night to continue his strong season in front of goal.
