It looks as though it could just be a matter of time before Florian Wirtz is confirmed as a Liverpool player - and the Reds have been told why they may have found the perfect replacement for a club legend.

Wirtz looks set to be the next signing announced by Liverpool this summer, following on from former Bayer Leverkusen teammate Jeremie Frimpong and young goalkeeper Armin Pecsi.

Wirtz’s signing is quite the coup for Liverpool, with the 22-year-old having emerged as one of the world’s biggest talents in the last few years at Leverkusen.

His impending arrival does leave some questions about just how he will be utilized by Arne Slot.

Florian Wirtz looks set to join Jeremie Frimpong at Liverpool.

He's very creative and he's got an eye for a goal, which are all the trademarks of exactly what we [Liverpool] need to make us a better team.

"It gives the manager options because he is very flexible?

He can play in a few positions and he can actually play as a centre-forward, like a Roberto Firmino type. 

“He could play there at a push but I don't think we've actually bought him for that - the flexibility he will give us in midfield will be excellent."

Wirtz will be eyeing up more silverware at Anfield, having helped Leverkusen to an unbeaten domestic double last year under Xabi Alonso’s guidance, and having seen Liverpool lift a 20th league title, Aldridge is expecting more with the new signing on board.
