The transfer window officially opens on Sunday with Liverpool ready to make some interesting moves.

After such a special season for the Reds finally came to an end last week, full focus can now turn to bolstering their squad for a Premier League title defence.

Jeremie Frimpong has already been signed, joining for a £30m fee from Bayer Leverkusen on Friday.

And although Frimpong is an exciting signing for Liverpool, supporters are desperate to hear that the arrival of his former Leverkusen teammate Florian Wirtz, has been wrapped up.

Liverpool are in negotiations over Wirtz, with the Reds knowing it will take a club record fee to bring him to Anfield.

In the meantime, the 22-year-old has headed off on international duty with Germany, where teammate Niklas Fullkrug of West Ham has been speaking openly about his potential transfer.

Fullkrug made the move from Germany to England himself only last year, moving from Borussia Dortmund to West Ham.

And while faced with the cameras at a national team press conference on Saturday, the 32-year-old was asked whether he had spoken to Wirtz about his own potential arrival in the Premier League.

“First of all, nothing official has been decided yet and I do not know whether that will be the case,” Fullkrug answered with a slight grin.

But of course I talk to Flo a lot and we’ve about it a bit.”

Fullkrug then went on to give a hugely exciting appraisal of Wirtz, which will leave Liverpool fans even more desperate for his arrival.

“Basically, Flo is simply an outstanding player with special qualities,” says the striker.

No matter where he goes I think he would work very well and even if it was Liverpool then I am sure that he would definitely bring this team forward.”

While Liverpool supporters will be excited to hear from Fullkrug on Wirtz, it still remains a possibility that things do not get over the line.

Wirtz himself is clearly set on joining the Reds, that is not the issue here.

Rather, Liverpool need to agree on a fee which would set them back more than £100m.

Given the transfer was not expected to take a hugely long time, some fans are getting anxious at the wait.

However, deals of this size are never going to be completed overnight.

With all parties keen to get things wrapped up, it should not be much more of a wait.

With the June transfer window open for the next 10 days, Liverpool will no doubt be hoping to get their new man in as soon as possible.
