Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish has warned that it will be too early to start criticising summer signing Florian Wirtz’s poor start to the Premier League.

Wirtz is yet to score or assist for Liverpool across eight appearances in the Premier League and Champions League, inviting scrutiny following what was at the time a British record transfer worth up to £116 million ($156.3 million) from Bayer Leverkusen.

However, in a chat with Stick To Football podcast, Dalglish believes Florian Wirtz must forge a partnership with Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike to thrive at Liverpool.

“He can see what’s in front of him, and once he gets it…I saw Isak the other day, the second-half when he came on I think, and he’s talking to one of the boys about his movement, what he would do.

“And the boy is sitting and listening to him and once they get on the same wavelength…By the way, that wee fella, he could open a can of soup.”
