Florian Wirtz\u2019s father and agent, Hans, insists his son does not regret signing for Liverpool despite a slow start to his Anfield<\/a> career. The German joined the Reds in a deal worth up to \u00a3116m from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer as the reigning Premier League<\/a> champions fought off interest from the likes of Bayern Munich and Man City.<\/p>\n However, the 22-year-old is yet to return a goal contribution in the English top-flight and found himself dropped to the bench for recent clashes with Everton<\/a>, Chelsea, Manchester United and Aston Villa.<\/p>\n Wirtz <\/a>has made 16 appearances for Liverpool <\/a>to date, returning three assists, with his best performances coming in the Champions League<\/a>.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Alexander Isak injury twist as Sweden reveal plan for Liverpool striker – ‘He is not ready’<\/a>READ MORE: Liverpool told ‘ideal successor’ to Virgil van Dijk as Premier League transfer claim made<\/a><\/p>\n But with the Germany international so far failing to live up to his hefty price-tag or recreate his eye-catching form for Leverkusen that earned him a move to Anfield in the first place, his performances have inevitably been the subject of increasing scrutiny.<\/p>\n But Wirtz Snr. is not paying much attention to the criticism his son is facing, insisting the Germany international is performing well for Liverpool despite the lack of goals and assists.<\/p>\n “I only take the criticism from the former internationals in passing,” he told the K\u00f6lner Stadt-Anzeiger<\/a>. \u201cFlorian is a young man who wants to prove himself in a new environment.<\/p>\n \u201cLess than a third of the season has been played. So far, everything is going as expected; it’s a completely normal settling-in process, entirely independent of any transfer fee.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd if you look at the statistics more closely, you can see that Florian’s stats regarding his involvement in the game are already quite good; only assists and goals are still pending.\u201d<\/p>\n He continued: \u201cWe all really enjoyed our time in Leverkusen. Whenever I pass the BayArena, I always feel a little nostalgic. But that\u2019s just my personal feeling.<\/p>\n \u201cFlorian consciously took a step to become an even better footballer. And he doesn\u2019t regret it at all.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s doing well in Liverpool, he looks forward to every training session, and he\u2019s settled in with the team. We\u2019re 100 percent satisfied with how things are going so far.\u201d<\/p>\n Liverpool knocks 50% off kits and merch<\/p>\n This article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.
