Even before he has made his first appearance for the Reds, his move is already being touted as the biggest deal of the transfer window.

The 22-year-old missed out on making his debut for his new club on Sunday, despite fellow new signings Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez and Giorgi Mamardashvili all getting their first run-outs against Preston.

Wirtz though should make his first appearance for Liverpool soon, with the club now set to head out on tour to Asia, with games against AC Milan and Yokohama F Marinos to come in Hong Kong and Japan.

Fans will have high hopes for the German international given the reputation he built up at Leverkusen, and the fact Liverpool managed to beat the likes of Bayern Munich and Manchester City to his signature.

And Steidten, who can take credit for Wirtz’s signing at Leverkusen after serving as the club’s head of scouting, has given the Reds even more reason to be excited.
