RB Leipzig star Timo Werner says he's 'proud' that he's being linked with a move to Liverpool.

The 23-year-old is said to have caught the eye of Liverpool with his performances this season, and he's flattered about the reported interest from 'The Reds'.

"Liverpool is the best team, in this moment, in the world and when you're linked with this team, it makes me very proud," Werner told Viasport after RB Leipzig's 1-0 win over Tottenham on Wednesday that saw him score the winning goal.

"In case of that, it's a pleasure, but I know Liverpool have a lot of good players and I have to improve myself, to learn much more things to get on this level to play there," he added.

Werner has scored 26 goals in 32 games for Leipzig this season.
