Liverpool are gearing up for the biggest spending summer in their history as the transfer window re-opens to pave the way for Florian Wirtz to join

Florian Wirtz's £116m move to Liverpool will be made official this week as attention turns to move for Bournemouth's Hungarian left back Milos Kerkez

Wirtz had grown up in a family that refused to compromise his development, nor that of his sister Juliane, who plays for Werder Bremen. His father Hans remains the chairman of Grun-Weiss Brauweiler, Wirtz's childhood was framed around the local football team. He grew up with a ball attached to his feet.
