Patience is the word being urged around Anfield when it comes to Florian Wirtz, according to BBC News.
Liverpool podcaster Josh Williams says supporters expected an instant star after the club paid £116m for the Germany international, but concedes the 23-year-old "probably isn't" the finished article just yet. Williams acknowledged Wirtz has struggled to justify his hefty price tag so far, having made 55 appearances since his move.
Despite the slow start, the message from Williams is clear: give Wirtz time to adapt before passing judgment. Big-money signings from the Bundesliga don't always hit the ground running in the Premier League, and the podcaster believes the attacking midfielder needs room to grow into his new surroundings before Liverpool fans see the player they paid for.
