"He's got amazing bravery and creativity, and he doesn't mind making mistakes to try to win games. He's also got that thing that I don't think you can coach, which is seeing the whole picture early, before anyone else on the pitch sees it. Liverpool had no-one like him, and there's probably been no-one like him since Philippe Coutinho, to be honest."
"You don't want to become predictable when you become successful, all of the other teams start making plans to stop what they know, so you have to bring a different problem. If Liverpool were looking for that profile of player, they went and got the best out there. Isak was the subject of a lenghty transfer saga (Image credit: Alamy) As Newcastle dug their heels in regarding Alexander Isak, Liverpool swooped for Hugo Ekitike, who would net in the Community Shield and add two more goals and an assist before the Swede arrived on Merseyside."
Liverpool spent over £400 million on new players, focusing on attack. The club signed Florian Wirtz for £100 million, later adding Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak, strengthening the champions' frontline with depth and options. Arne Slot's side began the season with five consecutive Premier League wins. Florian Wirtz displays bravery, creativity, and willingness to risk mistakes to win games, and he anticipates play before others. Wirtz resembles Philippe Coutinho in providing an unpredictable attacking profile. Hugo Ekitike scored in the Community Shield and contributed further goals and an assist before Isak's arrival, showing notable confidence.
