Liverpool have suffered back-to-back losses for the first time since March. It's something which, for Arne Slot, will feel like uncharted territory, especially given the nature of his side's defeat in the UEFA Champions League against Galatasaray on Tuesday in Istanbul. But as the age-old saying goes, when it rains, it pours, and the Reds have since been dealt a further blow, with Slot now set to hand a Premier League debut to one member of his squad at Stamford Bridge this weekend.
"My only choice was to come here... so I am happy to be here at City and be part of this fantastic team. "Before the summer I knew that City were very interested in me, the relationship strengthened after the Club World Cup. "I knew the coach was pushing for my arrival here, everyone wanted me here, it gave me such pride to see such a demonstration of affection. I didn't hesitate to come here with great joy and enthusiasm."
Wirtz is one of the most exciting prospects in Europe, and one of the best players in Germany. What makes him special is his ability to find the holes no other player seemingly can. In this Liverpool side, where you're supported by a strong core of defensive buildup, he will be able to orchestrate and eventually find the opportunities to create for his team.
