Florian Wirtz is already excited about the prospect of linking up with Jeremie Frimpong at Liverpool.

Combined, they made 111 goal contributions over the past two seasons.

Under normal circumstances players find themselves split up by transfers, though in this case the Reds have seen the value of both stars and want them to shine once again together at Anfield, paying £145.5m in total to make it a possibility.

"He’s a really good player, a really good person, a really funny guy.

Good for every changing room and also on the pitch, big qualities to attack and to defend," Wirtz has said.

Before he added: "He was then the first one who signed with Liverpool and of course he wanted me to join as well.

But I think I made my decision by my own, but it was maybe a small part that convinced me in the end as well.

"I think it’s a really nice thing that we can play together again at a new club, at maybe a bigger club, and make the move together.

I’m really looking forward to standing on the pitch with him again.

"Yes, he was my neighbour in the changing room, he sat directly next to me and I had to speak English with him.

"After I finished my school, I didn’t speak really good English but he was teaching me a lot and making me speak in more English and better English."
