Liverpool still hunt for forward after missing out on Werner – Castles

Liverpool have not given up hope of signing a striker in the transfer window.

The Reds were favourites to sign Timo Werner from RB Leipzig, but pulled out of the transfer.

They let him sign for Chelsea, as they considered the price tag was too high.

However, transfer expert Duncan Castles suggests the club still wish to sign a striker.

“The information I have is that Liverpool still remain keen on the recruitment of a forward of Timo Werner’s type,” Castles said on the Transfer Window podcast, via the Express.

“They want a successor to Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah should either or both of them decide to fulfil their ambition to go and play in La Liga.

“Both of them are 28 very soon, so you’re getting to that period where should a big offer for one or both of those players come in, they’ll let them go.”
