Steven Gerrard shares his honest verdict after hearing Florian Wirtz could sign for Liverpool
There’s no bigger seal of approval you can receive at Liverpool than getting the nod from Steven Gerrard.
Indeed, Steven Gerrard may well be the biggest legend in Liverpool’s modern history, and if he rates you as a player, you won’t go too far wrong at Anfield.
The transfer window is open, and Liverpool are set to be busy.
Milos Kerkez is interested in joining Liverpool, while Jeremie Frimpong has already signed for the club ahead of what promises to be an exciting summer.
Florian Wirtz is also firmly on Liverpool’s radar, and speaking to TNT Sports, Steven Gerrard has shared his verdict on this potential transfer.
The former Liverpool captain is very excited by the idea of Wirtz joining Liverpool, firmly giving his seal of approval.
Steven Gerrard reacts to Florian Wirtz to Liverpool links
Gerrard shared his verdict on Wirtz after being asked if there’s any players he’d like to see join Liverpool this summer.
The Reds legend says that he thinks Anfield is the perfect destination for Wirtz, claiming that he’s a big talent who has done fantastically for Xabi Alonso at Bayer Leverkusen.
“Is there anyone you have your eye on personally that you’d like to see in a red shirt?” Gerrard was asked.
“Well, there’s rumours, obviously, of Florian Wirtz. A big talent. Done fantastic for Xabi Alonso at Bayer Leverkusen, there’s talk that there is going to be a really big signing. A huge talent, huge future in front of him. So Liverpool’s the place for him, let’s hope we can make it happen.”
What Xabi Alonso has said about Florian Wirtz
Steven Gerrard isn’t the only Liverpool legend who is a fan of Wirtz.
As Gerrard says, Wirtz has done a brilliant job for Xabi Alonso in recent times, and the Spaniard has recently hailed Wirtz in a press conference, saying:
“Flo is one of the top players in the world,” Alonso said.
“He is world-class. Flo has a very mature mind. The people around him, his parents, they want the best for him.
“They are in a very important moment of his career.
“Whatever he does, I am really close to Flo, and I will be happy for him.”
Liverpool are yet to sign Wirtz, but all the noise appears to suggest that a deal isn’t far away from being struck.
Wirtz has hit double figures in terms of both goals and assists this season, something Gerrard used to do on a regular basis for Liverpool, and there’s plenty of reason to be excited about this transfer.
