Wirtz tipped to be a star in the Liverpool team
Daily Post
|October 17, 2025
GRANIT XHAKA has backed Florian Wirtz to become a star at Liverpool.
And the Sunderland midfielder has given his former Bayer Leverkusen teammate the nod over Chelsea's Cole Palmer when asked to choose between the pair.
Xhaka and Wirtz were two integral figures for Xabi Alonso in the 23/24 campaign when Leverkusen went the entire Bundesliga season unbeaten to win their first-ever German title before finishing as Europa League runners-up to Atalanta.
The former Arsenal captain moved to Sunderland around the same time German made his £116million switch to Anfield and when asked to rank his former colleague alongside Chelsea's Palmer and Manchester United man Bruno Fernandes, the Switzerland international selected the Reds’ No.7.
