RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner acknowledges that there is interest in his signature ahead of a potential transfer in the summer.

RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner has suggested that he will only contemplate a move to another club at the end of the season.

Having scored 23 goals in all competitions this campaign, Werner has been heavily linked with a transfer to a top European club.

However, while Liverpool, Chelsea and Real Madrid have all been linked with his signature, the 23-year-old has suggested that he remains fully focused on trying to win silverware with Leipzig.

Speaking to Kicker, the Germany international said: "When you score 20 goals as a 23-year-old in a season then, of course, there is interest. That's clear. We are going into many important games. That's what I want to focus on now. I can still contemplate my future later.

"What do you say if a club comes knocking in the next two weeks, a club which is one of the favourites to win the Champions League and makes an incredible offer? Most likely every player would think about it. I can generally imagine playing abroad one day, although I don't have any specific club where I want to be."

While Werner has three-and-a-half years left on his contract, it has been claimed that the attacker has a release clause.
