Wirtz holds a creative weapon Alexander-Arnold Left Behind, says that Liverpool slit

The departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold at Real Madrid caused Liverpool to miss creativity, but the signature of the midfielder’s attack Florian Wirtz can help compensate for this deficiency, said the Manager of the Premier League club, Arne Slot.

Liverpool broke its transfer record in June to sign Wirtz and strengthen its attack options, the German international having scored 57 goals and provided 65 assists in 197 appearances for Bayer Leverkusen.

Wirtz played in a Liverpool shirt for the first time in Anfield on Monday, organizing an impressive performance in the 3-2 victory of the Merseyside Club against Bilbao athletic in a pre-season match.

“I think there is always room for improvement in each department. As I said, we have added some, in my opinion, additional weapons. So Florian (Wirtz) has a lot of creativity in the last third”, ” Slot told journalists.

“We have lost with Trent (Alexander -Arnold) a lot of creativity from the rear. Trent’s Crosss and selecting runners were so special – I think that Flo also has this quality in a completely different position.

“But it brings this creativity, the rhythm of Hugo (Ekitike), the rhythm of the two rear – Milos (Kerkez) and Jeremie (Frimpong) today.”

Liverpool, who won the Premier League to get a record 20th English title, was occupied on the transfer market while they are trying to rely on the success of last season.

Slot said he was crucial to strengthen the team.

“Our competitors are not motionless,” He added.

“Not only are they also trying to improve, but they also made a lot of signatures, as we all did. This is why it will be again a very interesting premier during the coming year.”

Liverpool will face the winners of the FA Cup Crystal Palace in the community shield on August 10, before starting its first league title against Bournemouth in Anfield on August 15.
