So much so, former player turned pundit Craig Burley has urged the Liverpool hierarchy to cash in on Wirtz while they still have the chance.Speaking on ESPN FC, he said: “Let’s stop beating around the bushes with Florian Wirtz. He’s so lightweight in this Liverpool team, it’s unbelievable.

He’s so lacking conviction in the final third, it’s incredible.“If it’s not goals, where’s the passing? Where is it?”Before adding: “He’s gonna eventually play his best football as a number 10, and if he doesn’t, Liverpool are gonna have to sell him.

In terms of Xabi Alonso, of course if you get a guy who he had so much success with, of course that would be good for him, but I don’t think Arne Slot is Florian Wirtz’s problem.”Wirtz will be looking to steer Liverpool back on track in the Premier League when the reigning champions welcome relegation-threatened Tottenham to Anfield on Sunday.
