Liverpool player says 'oh my goodness' after seeing what Florian Wirtz did in Liverpool training

Florian Wirtz left one of his teammates saying "oh my goodness" after he produced a moment of individual brilliance during Liverpool's open training session in Hong Kong.

The 22-year-old, who is widely regarded as one of Europe's best attacking midfielders, has joined the Premier League champions from Bayer Leverkusen in a deal worth an initial £100 million plus £16 million in add-ons.

Wirtz has only been training with Liverpool for two weeks but the German international has already made an impression.

He made his first non-competitive start for the Reds in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Stoke City on Sunday and provided two assists as fans reacted to his impressive display at the AXA Centre.

And ahead of upcoming pre-season games against AC Milan and Yokohama F Marinos, Wirtz has been showcasing his finishing ability in a shooting drill as the likes of Kostas Tsimikas and Jeremie Frimpong watched on.

Here's how fans on social media reacted to Wirtz's effort.

One said: "Who was the last player that you were this excited to watch week in week out? Honestly couldn’t tell you," while another commented: "This guy is going to be unbelievable."

A third wrote: "Virg’s emotional intelligence as a captain on full display here trying to bring Wirtz out of his introverted shell a little with the “oh my goodness”. What a skipper."

A fourth said: "You can tell someone is a baller when it looks like they aren’t even trying," and a fifth added: "Wirtz plays for my club."

Ryan Gravenberch reveals what Liverpool squad think of Florian Wirtz

After watching him in training, midfielder Ryan Gravenberch has heaped praise on Wirtz.

"I think everyone knows Florian and also here in training he is a really good player: technical, really good vision," said the Dutchman. "So I am really happy that he is here and I can't wait for the season to start also to play with him."

Gravenberch also spoke about another summer signing, Jeremie Frimpong, who also impressed in their pre-season win over Stoke.

"Jeremie, obviously I know him for a long time already so I have a really good relationship with him," he said. "So I'm really happy that he is here.

"We had a little FaceTime (before he signed). We spoke to each other and he asked me about Liverpool and everything and I gave him really good advice! It's always nice to have some fresh faces in. I don't know what they (the club) will do after this, maybe more are coming. I am really excited."
