His stunning late strike away to Newcastle earlier this season suggested Liverpool have a future superstar on their hands.Since then, however, the 17-year-old has rarely been seen in the first team. The Italian has managed four goals and five assists in 31 appearances for the Reds since joining from Juventus for £10m in August 2024.He has made a major impact off the bench this season against Bournemouth, in the Carabao Cup against Southampton, and he even scored an equaliser in Liverpool's defeat to Crystal Palace.However, the 28-year-old has yet to usurp Mo Salah, even with the Egyptian being out of the team on occasion this season, or Cody Gakpo on the other flank, despite the Dutchman's erratic form.

Blistering performances against Eintracht Frankfurt, Real Madrid, Inter Milan and away to Spurs have shown the Reds faithful that the £116m man from Leverkusen has what it takes to make it in the Premier League.Wirtz's physicality has been doubted, as has his ability to truly dictate a game from his favoured No. However, after a tough start, he's recorded two assists in his last four games and his first goal for Liverpool is surely around the corner.Milos Kerkez - 5/10Signed for £40m from Bournemouth, the rapid left-back has struggled when picked ahead of Andy Robertson this season.

Often rash on the ball and eager to go to ground, there's no doubt Liverpool's creativity from deep has suffered at times when Kerkez has started.Yet during Liverpool's recent run, which has seen them go six games unbeaten, the Hungarian has begun to demonstrate what earned him a place in the Premier League's team of the season last year. But the truth is, Isak has looked lacking in match fitness and not on the same wavelength as his team-mates.However, without a full pre-season to his name this year, next season is where Reds fans should expect to see the Isak who previously tore up the Premier League with ease.
