Bayern legend Lahm says the forward would thrive under Slot

Philipp Lahm, the former Germany and Bayern Munich captain, believes the 22-year-old would thrive under Arne Slot’s management.

According to Lahm, Wirtz possesses exceptional qualities that would make him an excellent fit for Liverpool's playing style. "Wirtz has an outstanding first touch and can change speed so easily," he said.

"Wirtz doesn’t just want to be involved in the attacking play, he wants to be the decisive part of it. He is more straightforward and clear-minded. He waits, he picks his moments, and can alter the speed of a game with one touch or pass.

"That's why he seems ideal for Liverpool. The system of play there has pace, vertical direction and a clear allocation of roles within the team that should suit him really well."

Wirtz and Bayern’s prodigy Jamal Musiala, who once donned the England under-21 shirt before switching allegiances, have formed a dynamic duo for Germany's national side.
