Former Liverpool target Timo Werner signs new contract at RB Leipzig

Timo Werner

Timo Werner has signed a new four-year contract with RB Leipzig.

The Germany international has committed his future to the Bundesliga side, with his new deal running until 2023.

Leipzig feared losing their star man for nothing at the end of the season, but they have successfully persuaded him to remain at the Red Bull Arena.

The striker opened the scoring in his side's 2-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday.
