Laden with high expectations, the £116m star, formerly of Bayer Leverkusen, has struggled to find his rhythm in Slot's system for most of this season.However, Wirtz has shown flashes of the talent that marked him out as one of Europe's most promising prospects. Eustace was so enamoured with the defender that when he took over at Derby, he ensured that he secured Beck's services through another loan.Yet injuries have plagued Beck this season and Eustace has now opened up on Beck's "tough" few months.

“It’s a really difficult moment for Owen,” Eustace told Derbyshire Live.“He’s not back with the group as such, and it’s been a really frustrating time for him and for us. But we’ve got to get him in the right mindset and in the right state of fitness before he can actually come in and train every day and be part of the group.“He’s doing well and he’s heading in the right direction.

It’s a bit slower than what we wanted, but when he’s back, I know we’ve got a great player to help join the squad. That’s key.”Beck's Anfield future remains uncertain to say the least.
