Liverpool are hopeful that their background work will serve them well in an exciting transfer hunt, while a club jump ahead for an Aston Villa target – both in all the latest Euro Paper Talk.
Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Florian Wirtz is a firm target for Liverpool and the Reds are hoping to beat Newcastle and Manchester City to his signature, according to a report.
The 18-year-old has turned heads in the early stages of the season, making his first appearance for Germany’s national team in September. That outing made him the third-youngest debutant for his country and his international rise comes after impressive club-level progression.
Indeed, Wirtz has scored six goals and assisted six others in 11 games in all competitions this term.
As a result, Liverpool, City, Manchester United and Arsenal have all had links with snapping him up. However, he will reportedly cost €100million (£86million to sign).
