Wirtz's agent still 'wishing' for Real Madrid transfer

'Little boy' no longer! Wirtz will be the EPL's next superstar

At the tail end of October, Dimitar Berbatov appeared on Rio Ferdinand's podcast and pleaded for patience with Liverpool's struggling superstar summer signing Florian Wirtz. "He will be unbelievable, trust me," the Bulgarian told his former Manchester United team-mate.

Arsenal silence doubters to lead weekend winners & losers

After all the drama provided by the Champions League in midweek, domestic action returned over the weekend, and it did not disappoint.

The Ekitike & Wirtz show! Star signings fire Reds past Newcastle

Wirtz and Ekitike stepped up for Arne Slot as the big-money summer signings helped fire Liverpool to a comeback victory against Newcastle.

The Reds then pressed home their advantage and ran out worthy 4-1 winners.

Is Richard Hughes to blame for Liverpool's poor season?

Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes has a very cold, analytical approach to his role - so much so, in fact, that he was once described as "robot" by an agent who had dealt with him. Of course, being devoid of emotion probably wouldn't be such a bad thing for Hughes, given the nature of his job and the potential for being adversely affected by the wildly differing views on the work he's doing at Anfield.

Bad to worse for Szoboszlai! Missed penalty proves costly

Liverpool were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by relegation-threatened Burnley after Dominik Szoboszlai missed a penalty in a match where Arne Slot’s side squandered numerous opportunities to win at Anfield. Florian Wirtz fired the Reds in front, but it was a brilliantly-taken strike from Marcus Edwards which earned the second-bottom side a precious point.

Mohamed Salah Virgil van Dijk Liverpool 2025-26

Why Liverpool could get rid of BOTH Salah & Van Dijk

Former Liverpool striker Stan Collymore has told GOAL why the Reds could get rid of both Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk in the summer of 2026. Arne Slot is expected to be granted license to build for the future on Merseyside, with the reigning Premier League champions looking to “indulge” the likes of Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz as “old top men” move on.

Szoboszlai plays hero and villain in Liverpool's FA Cup win

Dominik Szoboszlai masterminded and nearly undid Liverpool's 4-1 win over League One side Barnsley to progress to round four of the FA Cup. The Hungarian scored a screamer, gifted the Tykes a goal, and was fortunate to not concede a penalty on Monday night. But classy goals from Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz, and Hugo Ekitike got him out of trouble.

Wirtz's goal subject to PGMOL complaint following offside controversy

Florian Wirtz finds himself at the centre of a fresh VAR storm after Fulham lodged an official complaint regarding his controversial opener in the recent draw at Craven Cottage. The Cottagers are demanding answers from the refereeing body, convinced that the German international was clearly offside despite the new tolerance rules allowing the strike to stand.

Why Wirtz's goal vs Fulham stood despite offside admission

Florian Wirtz has admitted he was convinced his goal would be ruled out for being offside in Liverpool's 2-2 draw at Fulham.

Harrison Reed's stoppage-time stunner ensured the points were shared on Sunday as Arne Slot's side ran out of luck at Craven Cottage.

Wirtz & Ekitike fire blanks in Liverpool's drab draw with Leeds

Liverpool extended their unbeaten run in the Premier League to seven games on New Year's Day but Arne Slot's ragged Reds continued to flatter to deceive in a drab 0-0 draw with Leeds United at Anfield. Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz had looked lively in the opening half hour on Merseyside, with both going close to breaking the deadlock. However, the English champions had run out of ideas by the final quarter of a largely uneventful game and Leeds looked to have nicked all three points through in-form forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin - only for the former Everton striker to be flagged for offside after hooking the ball into the net.

Seven games unbeaten - but are Liverpool really improving?

Liverpool host Leeds United on Thursday, less than a month since their last meeting at Elland Road. An awful lot has changed in the interim, though. Back on December 6, it appeared as if the wheels had well and truly come off Liverpool's season, with Mohamed Salah sensationally accusing Arne Slot of throwing him under the boss by once again benching him for a 3-3 draw that saw the Reds twice throw away the lead with more woeful defending from Ibrahima Konate & Co.
