Exclusive: Bundesliga expert and former coach reveal all you NEED to know about Florian Wirtz | OneFootball

This gives you the definition of the type of player Wirtz is. He's an archetypal no.10 who can operate in the wide areas as well and his flair and vision is a level above everyone else.

No one has more goal-creating actions in the Bundesliga than Florian Wirtz (25) this season. Only Michael Olise (31) has created more big chances (17) than him ad only Olise (0.49 per 90) averages more xA than him (0.37 per 90).

But Wirtz is not just a creative player. He's also a workhorse.

"He has incredibly good athletic ability, extreme endurance and good fitness. I think that’s the basis of his ability and one of his strengths. One he performs week in week out," Daun said.

"This was the case at a younger age. In terms of his athleticism he was already a professional even back with me. He never wanted to lose a single match in training either. He always wanted to continue training when I said the workout was over, he still wanted to continue. You could not stop him."

The numbers reflect that this season. Wirtz ranks second among Bayer Leverkusen players for sprints (832) in the Bundesliga this season, behind only Jeremie Frimpong (1021).

He also covers the third most distances in the Bundesliga (11.6km per 90) for Bayer Leverkusen.

So, he brings you flair, vision and energy.

Can Liverpool pull the deal off? For that, I consulted with Football Transfer's Bundesliga expert Ronan Murphy. It seems like a lot depends on Bayern Munich's ability to find the funds.

"I always seem to think that a German player is most likely going to end up at Bayern Munich," Murphy said.

"It always seems to be the way. It seems to be biggest stumbling block. Out of these clubs that aren't Bayern Munich, Liverpool seems to be the most rounded or the best fit for him. Because Manchester City, Pep Guardiola will probably coach everything out of us and we'll probably end up seeing this robotic player that we've seen other players that have that kind of technical skill that he has.

"Jack Grealish comes to mind hugely. I'm not saying that he's the same sort of player, but you could see the same kind of dullness that we've seen from Grealish rather than excitement that we used to see before his time at Man City.

"Real Madrid, I think they're gonna have to wait a couple of years till his contract goes up if they want to, is over before they try to sign him because that's their approach to signing players we've seen.

"So yeah Liverpool is definitely the best fit outside of Bayern Munich, but like I said earlier Bayern Munich is a fantastic fit for them they just have to find the money."

It's not impossible then, but at this stage it feels like it's a long shot. Later in the window, maybe, just maybe there is a chance.

And if Liverpool can pull it off, Murphy believes they'd be getting a world-class player who can change the dimension of Arne Slot's team.

"This is a player that if Liverpool were to sign him," Murphy said.

"I think he would be kind of perfect in the Liverpool attack and he would kind of give an extra dimension to them.

"He would be able to play between the lines and and kind of get through defenders and get through defenders with his own skill and not just pace or playing out wide. I think he could play through the middle even so I think he would really benefit Liverpool and he'd really benefit the players around him."
