10 in mind for Arne Slot.

Having settled on a 4-2-3-1 formation that has led Liverpool to the Premier League title, it makes sense why the Dutch manager is keen to sign a top-quality attacking midfielder to compete with Dominik Szoboszlai for the position.

Rayan Cherki has been linked with Liverpool in recent weeks, with Morgan Rogers also emerging as a target for the Reds as the Merseyside giants look to go big when it comes to signing a new no.



10 for next season.

With so many names linked, settling on just one feels like a difficult task for the Reds, yet Liverpool appear to have done just that heading into the summer transfer window.

According to Florian Plettenberg, Liverpool have highlighted Florian Wirtz as their ‘desired’ target for the no.

Plettenburg wrote: “Plans at Liverpool are in full swing.

10: Florian Wirtz is the desired target – and they’re not willing to give up on him.”

With Wirtz believed to be in England to meet Liverpool last week, interest in the Germany international is ramping up, who this season has once again been one of the best players in Europe despite Leverkusen falling short in reclaiming their Bundesliga title.

And with Liverpool now stating that Wirtz is their dream no.

10 target, work to sign the 22-year-old could be accelerated in the coming days, especially with Bayern Munich and Manchester City also chasing the attacking midfielder.

Wirtz is rightfully regarded as one of the best young players in football, with the Leverkusen star a key reason behind Xabi Alonso’s unprecedented success with the Bundesliga side in the last two and a half seasons.

And if Liverpool want to reach the next level under Slot, breaking the bank to sign Wirtz is a must this summer, with the German magician simply too good a player to pass up on in the upcoming transfer window.

Whilst interest from Bayern and City will make a deal difficult for Liverpool to pull off, the Reds have the funds and the appeal to make a move possible, with Wirtz a player who could be perfectly suited to Slot’s system.
