Liverpool haven’t allowed themselves to stand still in this summer transfer window.
The Reds mean business this summer, and they’re getting things done early.
Jeremie Frimpong has already joined Liverpool, Milos Kerkez is keen to join the Reds, while Florian Wirtz looks set to sign.
Wirtz is an exciting addition to this Liverpool squad and there’s plenty of reason to be excited about this deal.
Speaking to TalkSPORT, darts star and famous Manchester United fan, Luke Littler, has now made an interesting claim about Florian Wirtz ahead of his move to Anfield.

Luke Littler wouldn’t swap Bruno Fernandes for Florian Wirtz
Littler was taking part in a challenge where he was asked if he’d swap Bruno Fernandes for a number of top-class midfield players.
Littler snubbed the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and Martin Odegaard, and he had a difficult decision to make when he was asked about Florian Wirtz.
Littler took some time to think, but he ultimately decided that he wouldn’t swap Fernandes for Wirtz.
Fernandes has been linked with a move away from Manchester United, but Littler wants to keep him at Old Trafford at all costs.
Bruno Fernandes compared to Florian Wirtz
Littler says he wouldn’t swap Fernandes for Wirtz, but he may have the wrong idea here.
Yes, Fernandes is the proven article in the Premier League, but Wirtz looks like a top young talent.
Wirtz is probably the better long-term investment given his age, while the stats also showcase just how good he is.

Of course, we’re yet to see what Wirtz can achieve in the Premier League, but if he can carry his Bundesliga form across to England, he will be a superstar.
There’s plenty of reason to be excited about Wirtz coming to Merseyside, but, as Littler says, Manchester United probably wouldn’t swap Fernandes for any other player in the world right now.
