Hamann: Werner would not fit in the Liverpool system

Dietmar Hamann has significant doubt whether Timo Werner would be a good fit for Liverpool.

The RB Leipzig striker is on the top of the transfer Wishlist of many clubs after producing an outstanding body of work over the last couple of years at RB Leipzig.

This season the 24 year-old has scored 27 goals in 36 appearances across all competitions for his club.

Liverpool have been constantly been linked, and there appears to be mutual respect and interest between both parties.

However the former Liverpool midfielder and German international feels that Werner would not fit into the Reds system  at this moment of time and perhaps he was too keen in signalling his interest.

Football 365 via The Athletic reported Hamann as saying:

“I don’t think he’s a player for [Bayern] Munich or Liverpool [with] the way they play at the moment. 

“I read quotes from journalists or people close to the club in Liverpool when he always said Liverpool is a great club [and that] Klopp is the greatest trainer, that he was a bit too forward in showing interest in going to Liverpool.

"Where’s he going to play?

"Even if Mane or Salah go, [then] out wide is not his position and the centre-forward position, the way they do play, is probably the most crucial one.

Hamann feels that the work of Roberto Firmino is greatly underrated and needs to come into the equation in regards to if any deal for Werner is viable. 

“Firmino is probably a bit underrated in some people’s eyes.

"He’s a ball-playing centre-forward, he probably doesn’t get the goals that other players get.

“But he brings other players into position and that’s certainly not Werner’s game, so [it’s] a no from me.”
