"Wirtz has declared in the press that he is looking forward to playing with Salah, and he showed it in Liverpool's second pre-season friendly versus Athletic Bilbao."
"Wirtz could also be key to unlocking Cody Gakpo, who is a brilliant goalscorer, but has maybe lacked a true creator through the middle."
"During his time at Bayer Leverkusen, Wirtz played in a Bayer Leverkusen side that played full throttle football under Xabi Alonso."
"Jeremie Frimpong along with Ekitike brought a frightening pace to this Liverpool team on the counter."
Florian Wirtz has the potential to significantly improve Liverpool's attacking dynamics as a key link and goal scorer. He aims to complement Mohamed Salah, having displayed impressive chemistry in pre-season matches. Wirtz also has the ability to unlock Cody Gakpo's scoring potential, filling a creative role that was previously lacking. His previous experience at Bayer Leverkusen under Xabi Alonso, alongside teammates like Jeremie Frimpong, provides him with a strong foundational skill set. The combination of Wirtz, Frimpong, and new signing Hugo Ekitike introduces remarkable pace to Liverpool's counter-attacking strategy.
