Liverpool star Florian Wirtz has shut down the suggestion that he needs time to adjust to life at Anfield.
The Reds started the summer with a statement of intent by securing the services of the attacker from Bayer Leverkusen in a package worth a then-British record £116m.
Wirtz has since gone on to help Liverpool start the season perfectly, but he is yet to contribute a goal or an assist in the Premier League.

“I don’t want to hear it all the time, 'give him time, give him time.' Instead, I just try to do better each time than before.
“And sometimes there are just phases where things might not go your way; I haven’t had that very often in my career.
“Once I’ve got through it – that’s perhaps harsh, because I’m not playing badly, I just haven’t got the scoring points yet – it will come at some point, and then everything will be fine.
