Liverpool have wasted no time in strengthening their Premier League-title winning squad in Arne Slot’s second summer at the helm.
Having been very quiet last summer, the Reds have saved funds that are now ready to be splurged. Jeremie Frimpong has already arrived from Bayer Leverkusen and Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez is likely to follow the Dutchman through the entrance doors for a fee of around £40 million.
But there can be no doubting who Liverpool supporters are most excited about: Florian Wirtz. The 22-year-old has become the most expensive player in British transfer history, signing a long-term contract to bolster an attacking arsenal that already includes Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo and Dominik Szoboszlai among others.
Wirtz is the definition of a statement signing for the Premier League champions and will undoubtedly have his name plastered on the back of replica shirts across Liverpool and the world. But what number will sit below?
