Now, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the Reds have not given up hope of signing the forward this summer, with Jurgen Klopp telling the board that Werner would be perfect for his team.

It's claimed that though the Merseysiders have yet to make a bid for him, they are "still keen to make the transfer happen and have been assured Werner will wait for Liverpool to make a decision before choosing his future club".

And after hearing about the latest update on their chase for the striker, Liverpool fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the situation.

One Reds fan wondered whether Klopp now has the pulling power to demand new signings for the club, and whether that will make all the difference in convincing them to splash out on Werner.

If Klopp has indeed told the board that Werner should be a priority this summer, then the Liverpool manager has absolutely earned the right for them to simply trust his judgment.

Klopp will be keen to ensure that his side don't stand still, and strengthening his squad with the addition of Werner will help them challenge on multiple fronts once again next season.
