In-form Timo Werner is getting harder for Liverpool to ignore

Liverpool continued their brilliant start in the Premier League by beating Aston Villa at the weekend.

The Reds had to come from behind though, and at one point it looked as though they might fall to their first defeat in the league.

Late goals from Andy Robertson and Sadio Mane saw the visitors claim all three points, which could be vital with Manchester City securing a late win of their own.

Mane’s goal meant he now has 10 in all competitions and six in the Premier League.

He’s certainly been at the races in front of goal recently, but Salah and Roberto Firmino now have just one goal between them in the league since they beat Sheffield United on September 28.

Klopp will have no concerns about the form of his forwards, but over in the Bundesliga, a supposed Reds transfer target is really firing.

TBR’s view – Werner keeps on proving his talent

At the weekend, Timo Werner helped himself to a second hat-trick of the season for RB Leipzig against Mainz in an 8-0 victory. He also laid on three assists for teammates in a superb performance.

For the season he now was 13 goals and six assists from just 15 appearances, and his red-hot form is surely sending a message to Liverpool, who have been frequently linked to the 23-year-old.

The Mirror have recently reported Manchester United are ready to hijack the Reds’ move for him.

The German international forward signed a new deal back in August, but it is thought there is a release clause of just £26 million (Kicker).

Presumably, the player would have sought an exit had such a low figure not been put in place.

He is showing that he could provide Liverpool with amazing depth if the Champions League holders went in for him.
