Liverpool fans have already made their mind up about Florian Wirtz ahead of his expected move to Anfield this summer.

Just weeks after winning lifting this season's Premier League trophy, Liverpool are already extremely busy in the transfer window, with several big names linked with a summer move.

Hours after former defender Trent Alexander-Arnold's move to La Liga giants Real Madrid was confirmed, the Reds confirmed the signing of Bayer Leverkusen right-back Jeremie Frimpong, but their business isn't done there.

In the coming weeks, Liverpool are expected to sign Frimpong's former Leverkusen teammate Wirtz in a deal reportedly worth up to €150million (£126m), smashing the club's record fee.

And ahead of the move, Liverpool fans tuned in to see the highly-rated midfielder in action for his country in Germany's Nations League semi-final clash with Portugal, and they've already made up their minds on how he'll perform.

Although Wirtz's role at Liverpool is yet to be determined, during Wednesday's match the 22-year-old started as part of Germany's attack, and after just 45 minutes, he has seriously impressed fans on social media.

Reacting to his first half performance, one fan claimed: "Mohamed Salah is going to love playing with Florian Wirtz."

While another excited fan joked: "Not to get carried away but I think the club should get to work on the Wirtz statue."

And one fan noted: "Wirtz looks such a cut above everyone else. Silky smooth and super efficient. Portugal need to limit his touches."

Late in the first half, fans also praised their top transfer target after he was involved in a slightly controversial tackle that saw the studs of his boot dig into Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes.

Wirtz's potential transfer to Liverpool is yet to be confirmed either by his current club or the Reds, but several reports from the likes of Fabrizio Romano and Florian Plettenberg have suggested that the move is imminent.

On Tuesday evening, the German star himself appeared to confirm that the transfer is happening when he took to social media to hit back at rumours suggesting that he was demanding to wear the number 10 shirt when he arrive at Anfield.
