The strong showing against Wolves indicates Florian Wirtz is beginning to settle at Anfield. Liverpool’s £116 million signing is gradually proving why he was so highly regarded.
In the corridors of Anfield’s stands, many Liverpool fans finally gained entry after long queues and strict security checks. They quickly noticed a remarkable sight: Florian Wirtz is increasingly taking command of his new team’s play.
On the big screen, Rayan Cherki – Manchester City’s £34 million signing – continues to be highlighted. After a slow start, the midfielder has reached excellent form, playing a major role in Man City’s eight consecutive Premier League victories. Consequently, many Liverpool fans are wondering about Wirtz: when will the £116 million signing make a significant mark? Against Wolves, the German midfielder partly answered that question.
It is too early to compare Wirtz with Cherki now. Both have only completed half of their first season in England. However, the Premier League is clearly welcoming two new creative 'wizards' expected to lead top clubs for many years ahead.
