Florian Wirtz is already turning heads at Liverpool, just weeks after his record-breaking £100 million move from Bayer Leverkusen.
During an open training session in Hong Kong, the 22-year-old German midfielder delivered a stunning finish in a shooting drill, prompting a teammate to exclaim, “Oh my goodness!” — a moment caught on camera and widely shared by the club.
Wirtz’s technical brilliance and composure have impressed both fans and players alike. He made his unofficial debut in a closed-door 5-0 win over Stoke City at the AXA Training Centre, where he provided two assists — one following a driving run through midfield, the other a clever pass for Rio Ngumoha’s deflected goal.
Wirtz, who temporarily wears the No.58 shirt, is expected to feature in upcoming pre-season matches against AC Milan and Yokohama F. Marinos as Arne Slot continues to shape his squad for the 2025/26 campaign.
The Merseyside outfit will begin defending their Premier League title on August 15 when they face AFC Bournemouth at Anfield.
