Arne Slot provided updates on Florian Wirtz and Ibrahima Konate after he substituted the Liverpool duo late in the Premier League clash against Arsenal on Sunday. Dominik Szoboszlai's world-class free-kick in the 83rd minute gave Liverpool a 1-0 win to maintain their 100% start to the season.
Luis Díaz has described his transfer to Bayern Munich from Liverpool as a "big gamble". The Colombian winger, who joined the German champions in a £66 million (€75m/$89m) deal, has also revealed that he spoke to Florian Wirtz about the Bundesliga before sealing the move.
Liverpool star Florian Wirtz has been named Germany’s Footballer of the Year, finishing well clear of Michael Olise in the vote by sports journalists. The German midfielder’s triumph means Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane, despite scoring 41 goals last season, missed out on a place in the top three entirely in a surprising snub for the England captain.
Florian Wirtz has issued his honest verdict on fellow new Liverpool signing Hugo Ekitike. The pair were adversaries during their time in Germany, but have now joined forces at Anfield in what promises to be a potent attacking partnership for the Reds.
Arne Slot has hailed Liverpool's new "weapon" Florian Wirtz, saying the club-record signing can help fill the creative void left by Trent Alexander-Arnold's departure to Real Madrid.
Hugo Ekitike may have drawn a blank on his first appearance for Liverpool but fellow new signings Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong were both directly involved in goals before youngster Rio Ngumoha put the seal on a 3-1 victory over Yokohama F. Marinos in Wednesday's friendly in Japan.
Florian Wirtz scored his first goal for Liverpool since completing a £116 million ($156m) British record transfer from Bayer Leverkusen this summer. He opened the scoring for the Reds in a comfortable 3-1 victory over J1 League side Yokohama F Marinos in a pre-season friendly on Wednesday. Trey Nyoni and Rio Ngumoha were the other scorers for the English side.
Bayer Leverkusen have named Malik Tillman as their successor to Florian Wirtz by officially handing him the No.10 shirt following the German's move to Liverpool.
