Glen Johnson says if Liverpool had really wanted to sign Timo Werner they'd have done so, adding: "I wouldn't worry too much about it." Liverpool were in hot pursuit of the RB Leipzig forward but were forced to back out for financial reasons amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Chelsea stole a march on their Premier League rivals and are in a race to trigger Werner's £50million release clause before it expires on Monday.
Liverpool supporters were disappointed to miss out on the German, who has been on Klopp's radar for some time. But Johnson doesn't think the Anfield faithful should be overly concerned. "It looks as if Liverpool won't be signing Werner which is obviously disappointing for Liverpool fans, but I wouldn't worry too much about it,"
