Werner says Premier League is 'certainly the most interesting league' in Europe

Timo Werner admits he is attracted to the prospect of playing football in the Premier League, but states that he will remain an RB Leipzig player for the time being.

Werner's goalscoring form has seen him linked with a host of European clubs this month, including Liverpool and Manchester United.

Sky in Germany reported earlier this week that Real Madrid are also targeting the forward, who has 18 goals and six assists in 17 games in the German top-flight this season.

"The Premier League is certainly the most interesting league, you have to say," he told Bild.

"There is a certain flair to watching the English league and playing there."

Despite ongoing talk about a move away from Saxony, Werner was keen to dispel any such transfer talk, stating: "As of now I have no desire to look for a move elsewhere."

The striker has previously admitted that he would favour a move to the English top-flight, if or when he decides to leave German club football.

After the club originally announced in April 2019 that Werner would not be renewing his contract at Leipzig, the 23-year-old then signed a new deal with the current Bundesliga frontrunners in August last year, extending his stay until summer 2023.
