Florian Wirtz said he never lost confidence that he would break his goalscoring duck for Liverpool after he scored the winner in Saturday’s narrow 2–1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The German became British football’s most expensive player when Liverpool agreed to pay former Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen up to £116 million ($157.8 million) for Wirtz, though he quickly lost that particular crown as £125 million was then forked out on Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak.
