‘I can generally imagine playing abroad one day, although I don’t have any specific club where I want to be,’ said Werner, who has scored 25 goals in 28 appearances this season.
‘I am open for everything. I was over in America for a holiday recently and English football was on all of the time. That’s an exclamation mark for the Premier League. But there are also big, famous clubs and it would certainly be fun playing there.
‘When you score 20 goals as a 23-year-old in a season then, of course, there is interest,’ he added. ‘That’s clear.
‘But, right now, I am not thinking about what happens in the future. We are going into many important games. That’s what I want to focus on now. I can still contemplate my future later.’
Meanwhile, Liverpool and Manchester United are also reported to be interest in signing the Leipzig forward.
L’pool boss Jurgen Klopp admires Werner and could possibly throw all his guts in race for Werner who is expected to provide competition for Roberto Firmino but will face stiffer completion from Frank Lampard in summer.
