Florian Wirtz has made a slow start to his Liverpool career after a blockbuster $157 million summer transfer, but German national teammate Serge Gnabry is "certain" he will succeed. However, he has yet to score or assist for Liverpool this season, but Gnabry is in no doubt that Wirtz will become a star.

However, Gnabry believes that Wirtz needs time to adapt, and it's impossible not to succeed. Gnabry has taken on a leadership role in the German national team (Image: 2025 UEFA) "We have many young players.

"But the most important thing is to show your leadership qualities on the pitch and lead by example." Gnabry then focused on Wirtz, someone he has taken under his wing on national team duty. Give the guy some time, it was a big move – but he has huge qualities and I’m certain that he will succeed." Gnabry faced Wirtz on several occasions while he was at Bayer Leverkusen (Image: 2025 DeFodi Images) Wirtz came under criticism when first dropped by Slot for Dominik Szoboszlai earlier this season, but the Liverpool head coach set the record straight.
