Liverpool legend, Sir Kenny Daglish has reportedly issued a word of advice to Florian Wirtz on how to succeed at Anfield.
After moving from Bayer Leverkusen to Liverpool this summer for a record-breaking £116 million, the 22-year-old German has not yet established himself in the Premier League.
Wirtz has not scored a goal or provided an assist in his six outings for the Reds, after recording 16 goals and 15 assists for Die Werkself last season. This raises concerns about the attacking midfielder’s ability to justify his high price tag.
Some people think Wirtz only needs time to get used to his new surroundings, but Dalglish has given his own suggestions on what the young player should do.

According to the Daily Star, while speaking on the Stick To Football podcast, the former Liverpool forward and manager, who scored 170 goals in 511 appearances for the club between 1977 and 1990, said: “The first thing he needs to do is what he’s doing at the moment.
“He’s great at taking the ball into the feet, he’ll open himself up and the pass has beat you but he’s still got control of it. Or he’ll take it the other way back past you to go that way and you’re going this way.
