Chelsea Are Preparing To Move In For This Liverpool Playmaker: Good Choice For Alonso? | OneFootball

In a recent report, Fichajes revealed that Chelsea are preparing to move in for Liverpool playmaker Florian Wirtz. It has been mentioned that the Blues are planning to launch a big move to sign the Germany international in this summer transfer window.

Wirtz’s Impressive Numbers In English Football

Wirtz has caught the eye at times for the Reds in this campaign, but has failed to be consistent for them in the final third. The 23-year-old has scored seven goals and grabbed ten assists in 49 matches for Liverpool this season across all fronts.

The German talent is currently one of the best playmakers in the Premier League. Thus, the Blues would do well to get him on board this summer.

Wirtz is under contract at the Merseyside club until the summer of 2030. Hence, Chelsea would have to make a convincing offer if they are serious about recruiting him this off-season.

Will Wirtz Be A Good Choice For Chelsea Boss Xabi Alonso?

Wirtz is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and can use his pace well to get the better of his marker in the final third. He has got the vision to play some killer passes in and around the opponent’s penalty area.

The German sensation can strike the ball with power from long range and can chip in by scoring and creating his fair share of goals up top. Wirtz is primarily an attacking midfielder but can also operate as a winger on either flank if asked to do so. He already played under Xabi Alonso’s stewardship at Bayer 04 Leverkusen and won’t take much time to settle into his brand of football at the West London club.

Wirtz would undoubtedly enhance the quality of Chelsea boss Xabi Alonso’s attack in the long run. He has what it takes to nail down a regular starting place at Stamford Bridge next season.

At 23, Wirtz has got a bright future ahead of him and might help the Blues compete for a European spot in the Premier League in the coming years. With all things considered, he would be a good choice for the Blues, so Alonso should focus on getting a deal done for the talented playmaker in this summer transfer period.
