Liverpool head coach Arne Slot insists Florian Wirtz has brought “exactly what we expected” when they made him the club’s first £100million signing in the summer.

The tag of record signing is not one which has sat well at Anfield this season as Alexander Isak, who usurped the Germany international with a £125m move from Newcastle which broke the all-time British mark, has also struggled for different reasons.
