Speaking to Norwegian journalist Jan Aage Fjortoft, Matthaus claimed that the EPL is tailor-made for a player like Werner.
The EPL outfit currently boast the likes of Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah, and Roberto Firmino up front.
EPL giants Liverpool perfect for Werner
Matthaus claimed that Werner would suit the runaway EPL leaders stylistically, drawing comparisons to the EPL side’s destructive trio.
Manchester United and Chelsea are also interested in securing his services, but reports have suggested that Werner wants to make a move to fellow EPL side Liverpool.
While Matthaus talked up Werner’s chances, he admitted that his compatriot would have to fight for game-time if he were to move to the EPL club this summer.
The legendary German midfielder claimed that EPL sides would return for him in the future, even if he were to remain at RB Leipzig for a year or two.
He also added that it is imperative for Werner to make a decision based on playing time, which might not be guaranteed if he moved to the Premier League.
Werner has been in stunning form this season, with 27 goals and 12 assists in all competitions for Die Rotten Bullen. Liverpool are two wins away from securing the EPL title and will look to bolster their ranks in the summer, with Werner on top of their shopping list as things stand.
Three EPL sides are set to go toe to toe to secure his services, but Werner’s preference would be a move to Anfield. Having described the EPL leaders as the best club in world football and Jurgen Klopp as the best manager in the world, Werner has not hidden his admiration for the reigning European champions.
Only time will tell if Liverpool make a move for Timo Werner, but it looks increasingly likely that he will secure his dream move to Anfield this summer.
