Meanwhile, ex-Reds ace Michael Owen claims Firmino, Salah and Mane’s fine form would have seen Werner struggle to get game time.
“That’s the problem,” Owen told Premier League Productions.
“Liverpool gave Divock Origi a long-term contract not so long ago… they’ve almost nailed their colours to the mast in terms of, ‘Right, he’s our back-up in case anyone gets injured’.
“Werner is a top player and I think if Klopp had the choice to have Werner come in as that fourth striker then absolutely he would.
“But you’ve got to balance it in terms of where we are financially at the moment and I just think that probably Chelsea need him more.
“I think he’d love to go to Liverpool but I think Chelsea at this minute need him more and are willing to go that extra step.”
