The German international completed a £116million move to Anfield from Bayer Leverkusen earlier in the summerDanny Murphy has detailed the reason he believes Florian Wirtz has struggled to show his best for Liverpool since his summer transfer. Liverpool spent £116 million to sign Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen earlier this summer.Wirtz is yet to score or provide an assist for Liverpool since the Community Shield clash with Crystal Palace over two months ago, when he set up Hugo Ekitike for the opening goal at Wembley.

He has been deployed as both a number 10 and on the wing, but his performances on Merseyside have sparked debate.Speaking to Wetbasis, the former Liverpool midfielder Murphy said: "Talking about the Wirtz subject, one week he's playing with Ekitike and one week he's playing with Isak. I think he's found himself in great positions many times."There's a stat that came out the day before the weekend's fixtures that in all competitions, he's created more chances than anyone else.

Even when you look at the Chelsea game, we're not talking about Wirtz positively or Liverpool positively, but his first touch when he came on was this incredible pass to [Mohamed] Salah. Nine out of ten times, Salah scores that."Had he done that, Liverpool might have won the game and we would have been talking about Wirtz's brilliance.
