Florian Wirtz has had a difficult start to life at Liverpool but he is too good a player not to get betterFlorian Wirtz has become a big problem for Arne Slot. Wirtz has played a total of eight Premier League and Champions League games and has yet to score a goal or provide an assist.
And just imagine, he is 22, has moved to a new country, different city and is probably not feeling at home yet either.Having seen Wirtz play for Germany and Bayer Leverkusen, I tipped him to be the best player in the Premier League this season.Don’t worry, he can still be. That is why Liverpool signed him.But it would be ridiculously naive to think he would go to a club the size of Liverpool, a club which had just won the Premier League title, and immediately take centre stage.Mo Salah will be the star attraction for as long as he is at Liverpool.
So, actually, Wirtz has had a positive impact.Let’s also not forget that Slot has completely reshaped his team. Once Wirtz does, he will be a superstar.
