FROM FLOP TO FLO: Liverpool's Florian Wirtz celebrates after scoring against Newcastle last Saturday.
The £100 million forward had a tough start to life in the Premier League following his arrival from German side Bayer Leverkusen, with no assists or goals until he set up Alexander Isak in the 2-1 win over Tottenham on Dec 20.
The 22-year-old German scored his first league goal for Liverpool a week later.
Now Wirtz goes into today’s match at home to Manchester City on a fine run of six goals in his last 10 appearances for the reigning English champions.
