Jeremie Frimpong, a former teammate of Florian Wirtz at Bayer Leverkusen, has expressed strong support for Wirtz as he navigates a challenging debut season at Liverpool following his £116 million transfer. Wirtz has contributed just four goals and four assists in 28 Premier League appearances, ranking fourth in goal involvements among Liverpool players. However, Frimpong is optimistic about Wirtz's potential, citing his crucial role in Leverkusen's success, including their undefeated Bundesliga title and Cup victory in 2024. He emphasized Wirtz's exceptional ball control and intelligence on the field. Despite his struggles in the Premier League, Wirtz has created 50 chances from open play, second only to Bruno Fernandes, indicating his ability to impact games. His performances in the Champions League have been more promising, suggesting that with time, he may adapt better to the Premier League's fast-paced style.
