Florian Wirtz can “help Liverpool start a dynasty” following his \u00a3116m move from Bayer Leverkusen. That’s according to former Manchester United star Teddy Sheringham.<\/p>\n
Wirtz completed his transfer to Liverpool for a club-record fee<\/a> from Bayer Leverkusen earlier this month after making it clear to all interested parties, including Bayern Munich and Manchester City, that he wanted to move to the Premier League<\/a> champions in May.<\/p>\n The 22-year-old signed a five-year deal after completing his medical. And Sheringham, who won three Premier League titles while at Old Trafford, thinks Wirtz will be coming into a finely-tuned squad at Anfield<\/a>, making it easier for him to show why he was one of the most coveted young players in Europe earlier this summer.<\/p>\n READ MORE: What Jurgen Klopp said about Florian Wirtz sums up major change Liverpool and FSG have embraced<\/a>READ MORE: Inside Liverpool pre-season as Mohamed Salah talks expected and Florian Wirtz plan takes shape<\/a><\/p>\n “He\u2019s coming to a top team,” Sheringham told Racing Tipster<\/a>. “[They are] playing at the top or near the top of their game. They won the league at a canter last year. I fully expect them to be right back up there again next year, and Wirtz just enhances their whole situation.<\/p>\n “He\u2019ll have a solid situation playing behind him with the back four and the goalkeeper. There\u2019s strong midfielders alongside him from day one, and he\u2019s got players up front like Mo Salah<\/a>, who\u2019ll turn his service into goals.<\/p>\n “He\u2019ll fit right in there, and I think he can help Liverpool<\/a> start a dynasty in England the same way United did in the 1990s and 2000s, and the same way City did over the last decade or so. I think they\u2019ve learned from being on top in the 70s and 80s, then losing that stature. Now, they\u2019re ready to get it back and I think they have all the tools.”<\/p>\n Liverpool’s record-breaking summer spend, which currently sits at close to \u00a3215m, inclusive of the \u00a329m agreement struck last year to see Giorgi Mamardashvili<\/a> move in July, and Sheringham has also tipped \u00a340m Milos Kerkez<\/a> to be a hit at left-back following his arrival from Bournemouth.<\/p>\n Sheringham added: “I hear big things about Kerkez. But while there was a bit of talk about (Andy) Robertson having a tough time last year, whenever I saw him, he seemed to be doing quite nicely. And they\u2019re both playing in a top team.<\/p>\n “There\u2019ll be a few questions about them getting Kerkez and keeping Robertson, and Kerkez cost about \u00a340 million so they will want to play him.<\/p>\n “Robertson\u2019s 31 now, and left-backs are left-backs so I don\u2019t think moving him around while Kerkez plays at left-back will work. Left-backs cannot play anywhere else. That is what they\u2019ve done all their life.<\/p>\n “They can do a bit of defending and get forward a bit as well, but that left-hand side is all they know. You see some right-footers like Phil Neville, Denis Irwin, play at left-back and cover on the right-side, but that won\u2019t be the case for Robertson.<\/p>\n “You never ever, ever, ever get a left-back going to play right-back. It’s. It’s like you’re telling them to play tiddlywinks instead of playing football! They would not have a clue what to do playing right-back.<\/p>\n “They’d be facing the wrong way, they would see that touch line and want to get it on their left foot. And if they put him onto the right foot, he’d turn him around and then he’d feel comfortable facing the wrong way. I’m telling you, he cannot play right back.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Florian Wirtz can “help Liverpool start a dynasty” following his \u00a3116m move from Bayer Leverkusen, according to one…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":226430,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8813],"tags":[748,393,2912,41370,4884,763,1596,2465,16123,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-226429","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-manchester","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-florian-wirtz","11":"tag-football-blog","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-liverpool-fc","14":"tag-liverpool-fc-transfer-news","15":"tag-manchester","16":"tag-milos-kerkez","17":"tag-uk","18":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114771945981619700","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226429","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=226429"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226429\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/226430"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=226429"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=226429"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=226429"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
