As Arne Slot approaches his second summer transfer window as the manager of Liverpool, numerous challenges need to be addressed: What implications does Trent Alexander-Arnold’s exit have for Conor Bradley and the right-back position? How high is the priority for acquiring a centre-forward? Additionally, is Florian Wirtz deserving of the interest? The 22-year-old German international is attracting attention from several clubs, including the reigning champions of the Premier League for the 2024/25 season.
In fact, discussions have taken place between the attacking midfielder’s family and the Merseyside club regarding a possible transfer from Bayer Leverkusen.
As things stand, Slot – widely regarded as one of the best managers in world football – has Dominik Szoboszlai and Curtis Jones to choose from, but neither the Hungarian nor the Englishman have jumped off the page during his tenure.
That’s where Wirtz may come in – but how do his statistics from this season compare to the aforementioned Anfield duo?
