Florian Wirtz, the German sensation, is rumoured to be heading to Anfield in the coming days.

The 22-year-old was widely expected to remain with Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, or potentially move to Bayern Munich or Manchester City.

However, Liverpool has seemingly surged ahead in the race for the coveted attacking midfielder, with a deal believed to be imminent.

If Wirtz does make the high-profile switch, he will bring a fresh dynamic to Arne Slot's title-winning team.

Despite rumours of interest from top European clubs, the Argentine international is expected to stay put following another outstanding season.

Instead, Wirtz may choose No.

This number is currently available at Anfield.

The race to sign Florian Wirtz has taken a significant turn in Liverpool's favour, with their pursuit of the highly-rated youngster receiving an unexpected boost.

Bayern Munich's president Herbert Hainer has hinted that they are out of the running for Wirtz's signature, admitting: "Max Eberl [sporting director] informed me that Florian Wirtz is probably leaning towards Liverpool."

Adding to Liverpool's potential incoming talent, they appear set to swoop in for Leverkusen's Jeremie Frimpong by activating his £30million buyout clause.

Frimpong is poised to take over from the departing Trent Alexander-Arnold and fight it out with Conor Bradley for the starting spot.

With Arne Slot celebrating a successful first season in charge, further additions to Liverpool's squad seem imminent.
