It's been a rather disappointing week for Liverpool. The Reds were in hot pursuit of Timo Werner and appeared certain to snap up the Germany international once the summer transfer window swung open.
Jurgen Klopp was keen, and Werner made sure the world knew he was on board. "Yes I know that Liverpool is the best team in the world at the moment.
When you're linked with that team it makes you very proud but in case of that, it's a pleasure, but I know Liverpool have a lot of good players," Werner said. "I have to improve myself and to learn much more things to get on this level and to play there." But the predicted effects of the coronavirus pandemic were proven to be already at play when Liverpool were forced to pull the plug.
