"I saw it on Instagram and of course, everywhere else, that they (Liverpool fans) wanted me to come," said Wirtz.

He's now outlined his desire to compete for major trophies at Liverpool, and said he wants success in both England and in Europe.

Wirtz has joined after 197 appearances at Bayer Leverkusen.

He continued: "This was also a big point for me (in signing).

"That I will improve my own personal level and physical levels because I think everyone knows that in Liverpool the players are machines – really strong and really physical.

But I see this also as an opportunity for me to get better in this point.

"So yeah, I just thought this was the right place for me."
