Analysing Anfield: What Liverpool are asking of Jurgen Klopp now Timo Werner deal is off

With Timo Werner set to sign for Chelsea, what does that mean for Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool, the manager and club the RB Leipzig striker seemed perfect for? That’s the question asked by Josh Williams and David Alexander Hughes in the latest Analysing Anfield podcast. Our hosts are huge fans of Werner and wonder if there are other players like the Germany international on the market at a cheaper price – or whether Liverpool will spend at all this summer. If not, Josh and David explain why Klopp will have to find new and creative ways to keep the Reds at the top both domestically and in Europe. Chelsea, who are also interested in Kai Havertz and Ben Chilwell, are set to be closer challengers to Liverpool next season. But Josh and Dave believe Frank Lampard’s side will still be a way off the Reds – and for one big, expensive reason. Also on the agenda is the subject of net spend, FSG, and Klopp’s fearsome front three of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino, who even without Werner as competition, should still be as good as any strikeforce in the world for a little longer yet.
