Liverpool’s eye-watering Wirtz signing…
Joe Cole thinks Liverpool’s signing of Florian Wirtz is like finding gold at the end of a football rainbow, calling it a huge statement for the Premier League. The Reds have become the top spenders after dropping nearly $400 million to boost Arne Slot’s team in almost every part of the field. It’s like they went shopping on Black Friday with an endless credit card. Meanwhile, Arsenal spent big on striker Viktor Gyokeres, while Manchester United went on a shopping spree for Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Benjamin Sesko.
Despite the hefty price tag up to $156 million, Cole believes signing Wirtz is Liverpool’s secret weapon—a master stroke akin to making the perfect sandwich with extra-tasty bacon. “Liverpool has made a massive statement,” Cole told TNT Sports. Owen Hargreaves agreed, pointing out that Wirtz is about as unique as a unicorn juggling footballs—bringing goals, assists, and a vibrant flair. Though costly, Wirtz could bring Liverpool something astonishing, at least more impressive than finishing a Rubik’s cube blindfolded.
