Timo Werner said he was proud to be linked with a transfer move to Liverpool.

"I know that Liverpool are currently the best team in the world and it makes you very proud to be linked to them. I know that many good players are at Liverpool. I must improve and learn a lot of things to reach the level to play there," said Werner following RB Leipzig's 1-0 win over Tottenham in the Champions League round of 16.

Werner has been rumored for a Liverpool move.

Werner, who signed a deal with Leipzig through 2023, reportedly has a buyout clause of $77 million this summer.
