RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner scored thrice in his side’s 5-0 thrashing of Mainz 05 this evening, and the Germany international further endeared himself to the Liverpool fans with his performance.

The 24-year-old has now scored 30 goals in 38 appearances for the Bundesliga side this term, keeping their title hopes alive, and it is clear to see why Jurgen Klopp wants him at Anfield.

According to Bundesliga expert Raphael Honigstein, the German tactician has held a virtual meeting with the Leipzig star in recent weeks, and it remains to be seen if Liverpool will activate the £55 million option to buy him in his contract this summer.

The Reds fans would love to see Werner at Anfield this summer, though, and a lot of them have taken to Twitter to react to his hat-trick against Mainz thus:
