Liverpool star Florian Wirtz could QUIT club with the Premier League ‘not what he envisioned

Florian Wirtz has endured a difficult start to life in the Premier League, failing to register a single goal or assist in his 11 appearances to date.

The Germany international, signed by Liverpool for a huge £116 million from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer, has fared better in the Champions League, but so far the consensus is that he has thoroughly underwhelmed.

There was major criticism after a largely anonymous display in Liverpool’s recent 3-0 defeat to Manchester City, and pressure is growing on the 22-year-old to make an impact.

Patience was always likely to be limited for a player who arrived with so much expectation, though Wirtz is hardly the first big-name player to make a slow start in England’s top flight.

Still, there have been plenty of big statements made about Wirtz’s Liverpool prospects following another unimpressive performance.
