EPL: Klopp warns Wirtz over Liverpool move
Ex-Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp, has warned summer signing Florian Wirtz about meeting expectations at the Premier League champions.
The £116m that the Reds will pay Bayer Leverkusen for the 22-year-old, makes him the most expensive British player.
And Klopp fears that the price tag will put a target on Wirtz’s back.
He however hailed Wirtz as an “outstanding player”, while stating that the playmaker will be “aware” of his substantial fee.
“There’s no question about it, it’s an insane sum, and one that a player at Liverpool is aware of if things don’t go well for two or three games,” Klopp told Welt.
“He’s an outstanding player who can give any club something great.
“Whether he’ll make the reigning English champions even better remains to be seen.”
