Andy Robertson has offered a glowing assessment of Liverpool transfer target Florian Wirtz and revealed his own chastening experience against the 22-year-old. The Reds have been negotiating a deal with Bayer Leverkusen for Wirtz for several weeks and are seemingly close to finalising a transfer.

Liverpool’s transfer move for Bayer Leverkusen playmaker Florian Wirtz is complete, with the clubs agreeing to a package of nearly €150m.

If the right offer arrives Liverpool will certainly consider selling him and bringing in a new left-winger.
