Florian Wirtz could end up being the signing of the summer, even though the transfer window has only just opened.

It’s clear that Liverpool are in for a summer of change with the likes of Jeremie Frimpong already being brought to Anfield.

One of the main positions they need to reinforce is their strikeforce, with numerous players such as Viktor Gyokeres and Hugo Ekitike already being linked.

Indeed, nothing concrete, such as a bid or enquiry, has occurred yet, but with the steep asking price for both players, it’s hard to know whether one will be donning the Red of Liverpool by the start of next season.
