RB Leipzig striker Timo Werner has dropped a huge hint about his next Premier League move.

Timo Werner is regarded one of the best strikers in the Bundesliga. He is arguably the second best, right next to Bayern Munich’s goal machine Robert Lewandowski.

According to Sky Sports – Chelsea are set to battle it out with their arch-rivals Liverpool and Manchester United for the German striker’s signature in the upcoming summer transfer window.

RB Leipzig are not going to sell him for cheap, the German Bundesliga table toppers are expecting the 3 English giants to battle it out for the German striker in the summer.

Timo Werner has scored 23 goals in 25 games in all competitions this season so far. His in-form performances might suggest that the Bundesliga club will not entertain bids less than £60 million for the 23-year-old talisman.

During his recent interview with Bild – Werner also hinted about his interest in playing in the Premier League next season.

The German international striker said:

"“The Premier League is certainly the most interesting league, you have to say. There is a certain flair to watching the English league and playing there. But many Germans have also been very successful in Spain, such as Sami Khedira and Mesut Ozil.As of now, I have no desire to look for a move elsewhere.” – Timo Werner (quotes via Bild)"

Chelsea and Manchester United are expected to battle it out for the German, with Liverpool also keeping tabs for the striker despite having a star-studded attack.

The Blues have been heavily relying on Tammy Abraham for goals this season, with the likes of Christian Pulisic, Mason Mount and Willian chipping in with very few goals.

Meanwhile, the Red Devils also have suffered a similar fate in their inconsistent season, but are having a decent season in front of goal with Marcus Rashford, Mason Greenwood and Anthony Martial firing in goals.
