Wirtz’s recent good form at Liverpool is the result of a blossoming understanding with his teammates, according to Reds boss Arne Slot.The £100 million forward had a tough start to life in the Premier League following his arrival from German side Bayer Leverkusen, failing to register a single goal or assist in his first 11 league appearances. His breakthrough finally came on December 20 when he set up Alexander Isak in a 2-1 win over Tottenham, followed by his first league goal a week later on December 27 against Wolves.
