Florian Wirtz Hails Mo Salah as Premier League’s Best, Excited for Liverpool Partnership
Liverpool’s marquee summer signing Florian Wirtz has wasted no time in showing admiration for his new teammate, calling Mohamed Salah the best player in the Premier League last season. The 22-year-old German attacker, who joined the Reds from Bayer Leverkusen for a staggering £116 million (including add-ons), is already buzzing about the prospect of linking up with the Egyptian superstar.
Wirtz arrives at Anfield with a glowing reputation, having scored 57 goals and contributed 65 assists in nearly 200 appearances for Leverkusen across all competitions. His creativity, vision, and attacking flair are expected to bring a new dimension to Jürgen Klopp’s evolving squad.
In a recent interview quoted by TBR, Wirtz was asked which player he was most looking forward to playing alongside. Without hesitation, he replied:
“Of course, the whole team, but maybe Mo Salah. He was the best player last season, so yeah, I’m really looking forward to playing with him.”
Salah’s Dominance Continues
Wirtz’s praise isn’t unfounded. Salah enjoyed another electric season, scoring 34 goals and providing 23 assists in 52 appearances, as Liverpool clinched their first Premier League title in five years. His consistency, leadership, and knack for producing in big moments have solidified his legacy as one of the league’s all-time greats.
A Fearsome Duo in the Making?
With Wirtz’s playmaking and scoring ability complementing Salah’s explosive style, Liverpool fans have every reason to be excited. The duo could form one of the most dangerous attacking partnerships in Europe this season.
Opinion: The Klopp Rebuild Has Spark
Florian Wirtz is not just a big-name signing — he represents the future of Liverpool’s attack. His admiration for Salah signals a hunger to learn and thrive in the Premier League. If their chemistry clicks, this could mark the beginning of a new golden era at Anfield.
And for opponents? It’s time to take note — Liverpool mean business.
