"Wirtz made the move from Bayer Leverkusen to Anfield in a £100million transfer this summer. However, that deal has yet yield the dividends many expected. Indeed, Wirtz has yet to register a goal or assist in the Premier League, with his two assists in the Champions League representing an underwhelming return for the price paid. By contrast, Woltemade already has scored six goals in all competitions since his £69million move to Newcastle United from Stuttgart, a transfer that helped facilitate Alexander Isak's departure from St James' Park to link up with Wirtz at Liverpool."
""For every player, adjusting isn't easy. But he's doing very well," said Woltemade. "On paper, you might not see the goals, but if you compare my games with his, he's much more involved in play. I've probably been in the right spot three or four times, received the ball and scored - but he's very active in the game, gets lots of touches and makes good plays.""
Florian Wirtz moved from Bayer Leverkusen to Liverpool for £100million and has not yet registered a Premier League goal or assist, with only two Champions League assists. Nick Woltemade joined Newcastle for £69million and has scored six goals in all competitions. Woltemade says Wirtz is doing well and is highly involved in play despite the lack of goals, noting Wirtz gets many touches and makes good plays. Germany can secure 2026 World Cup qualification by beating Luxembourg and Slovakia. Woltemade enjoyed a rapid rise, winning the DFB-Pokal and finishing as the U21 European Championship top scorer.
