Peter Bosz backs Florian Wirtz to flourish at Liverpool
PSV boss Peter Bosz during his press conference before facing us in the Champions League (via Liverpool.com), delivered one of the strongest messages of support yet for Florian Wirtz as he insisted the German would thrive in the Premier League.
The 62-year-old said: “He’s the best player I’ve ever worked with at his age. I wouldn’t let him go anywhere else, he was that good.
“I’ve had other guys come and train with us, but he was really special.
“I worked with you [Alexander] Isak joined Dortmund when he was 16, but we weren’t sure what kind of career he would have, but with Florian it was clear.”
Bosz recalled handing the forward his first senior appearance at Bayer Leverkusen in 2020, explaining that even as a teenager he showed rare intelligence and technical perfection.
He added: “You could see he was getting better after every game. He can play intelligent football and he will be fine.”
However, that confidence comes at a time when the midfielder is currently out of action due to injury, with his muscular problems becoming increasingly disruptive.
Why Liverpool still expect Wirtz to explode this season
Despite a quiet start in red, the 22-year-old has already shown glimpses of the talent that has made him a record signing, and many senior figures in the game have echoed Bosz’s belief.
When Jurgen Klopp was recently asked about the Germany international, he emphasized it “I don’t have to worry about Florian Wirtz, because his quality is so excellent”brushing aside any suggestion that early numbers should determine his impact.
Our struggles in the competition have naturally sharpened the focus on creative output, as Wirtz was brought in to help solve those exact moments.
However, Bosz’s comments are a timely reminder of why Liverpool invested so heavily in his long-term potential.
With the Champions League returning to Anfield and Arne Slot looking for new inspiration, expectations remain that the 22-year-old will be central to our recovery – once he is fully fit.
