# ‘He’s the 1’, ‘Would be a great signing’ – Liverpool fans react to exciting transfer report

**Liverpool fans in the Transfer Tavern have been reacting to a story in *[The Independent](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/liverpool-transfer-news-rb-leipzig-timo-werner-a8254591.html)* today, stating that Liverpool are considering a move for RB Leipzig’s electric forward, Timo Werner. Klopp’s side have already agreed a deal for Werner’s teammate, Naby Keita, to join Anfield next season and fans will be hoping that the German international can join Keita in moving to Merseyside.**

Some of the Reds who have been propping our bar up are sceptical of the news though, as Werner has previously [claimed](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/manchester-united-fan-timo-werner-still-dreams-premier/1opaftarro22a10d2v5sm0nmjm) that Manchester United would be his first choice move. This won’t stop Klopp in vying for the forward’s signature, as he looks to add a Champions League calibre out-and-out striker to his talented attacking line. The red half of Merseyside, although excited by the links to such a prolific forward, would rather see defensive reinforcements to bolster their backline.

Liverpool came out on the wrong end of a 2-1 scoreline at Old Trafford on Saturday as a catalogue of errors from Trent-Alexander Arnold and Dejan Lovren allowed Marcus Rashford to fire the Red Devils into a 2-0 halftime lead. An Eric Bailly own-goal halved the deficit for the Anfield faithful as the result opened up a five-point gap between the sides. Although if Liverpool can secure the signing of Werner, next season could be a different story in the League for our resident Reds.

Taking that into account, here’s what the Liverpool fans behind the bar make of the Werner links:
