Florian Wirtz has officially declared his intent to conquer all competitions with Liverpool, following his high-profile transfer from Bayer Leverkusen. The 22-year-old German attacking midfielder has become Liverpool's record signing in a deal worth £116 million, a move that underscores the club's ambition to maintain its position at the summit of English and European football.

Wirtz's arrival at Anfield marks a significant moment for both the player and the club. After spending his entire senior career at Leverkusen, where he made 197 appearances, scored 57 goals, and provided 65 assists, Wirtz is eager to embrace a new challenge in the Premier League. He was a key component of Xabi Alonso's Leverkusen side that achieved a domestic double in the 2023/24 season, winning the Bundesliga title undefeated and the German Cup.

In his first interview as a Liverpool player, Wirtz conveyed his excitement and determination to make an immediate impact. "I feel very happy and very proud. Finally, it's done, and I was waiting for a long time," Wirtz told Liverpoolfc.com. "I'm really excited to have a new adventure in front of me. This was also a big point of my thoughts: that I want to have something completely new, to go out of the Bundesliga and to join the Premier League."

Wirtz emphasized that he is not joining Liverpool merely to enjoy the experience but to contribute to the team's success. "I'm not coming [to] have fun here, I want also to achieve something and give the fans what they deserve," he stated. "Of course I want to keep going at this performance. So yeah, that sure gives motivation to achieve more."

His ambitions are set high, with a clear focus on winning major trophies. "I would like to win everything every year! First of all, we have to do our work, I have to make my work. In the end, we want to be successful," Wirtz declared. "Last season they won the Premier League, so my goal is for sure to win it again and also to go further in the Champions League. I'm really ambitious."

Wirtz's move to Liverpool also sees him reunite with former Leverkusen teammate Jeremie Frimpong, who also made the switch to Anfield this summer. This existing connection could help Wirtz settle into his new environment more quickly.

Liverpool fans have already expressed their enthusiasm for Wirtz's arrival, with many taking to social media to welcome the player and praise his ambitious mindset. Wirtz acknowledged the support, stating, "I would say thank you for the support. Of course I saw it also on Instagram or everywhere else, that they are wanting me to come. So, I would say thank you for the support. I'm really looking forward to play in front of them and achieve together big things."

As Wirtz prepares to begin his Liverpool career, the expectations are high, but his determination to "win everything" suggests that he is ready to embrace the challenge and contribute to what Liverpool hopes will be a new era of success.
