Florian Wirtz has been identified as a prime target for Liverpool, and Philipp Lahm, the former Germany and Bayern Munich captain, believes the 22-year-old would thrive under Arne Slot's management.

Wirtz, an attacking midfielder for Bayer Leverkusen, has expressed his desire to join the Reds.

According to Lahm, Wirtz possesses exceptional qualities that would make him an excellent fit for Liverpool's playing style.

Wirtz and Bayern's prodigy Jamal Musiala, who once donned the England under-21 shirt before switching allegiances, have formed a dynamic duo for Germany's national side.

However, Lahm has shed light on why Wirtz hasn't followed Musiala to the Bavarian giants, stating: "Of course, I would have liked to see Wirtz in the Bayern jersey, but I can understand him moving elsewhere.

For one thing, Arne Slot wants to develop a position with him, not just fill it.

"Secondly, it's not easy to integrate Wirtz into the same team as Musiala

Both want the ball and need space.

"What I particularly like is that Wirtz and Musiala are team players

These are the qualities they share."

In an interview with The Athletic, Lahm also highlighted where Wirtz could enhance his game and how he must adjust to the demands of English soccer.

"In my opinion, Wirtz is better (than Musiala) at allowing situations to develop," he said
