Liverpool legend John Aldridge has praised Florian Wirtz, insisting the German playmaker has the talent required to become a long-term success at Anfield.
Aldridge's comments came after Wirtz impressed in Liverpool's 3-1 win over Crystal Palace, a game in which he scored the third goal and delivered an eye-catching attacking display.
The former Reds striker described Wirtz as a key figure in Liverpool's project, while also stressing that the midfielder still needs to be used in the best possible way, especially in terms of positioning and defensive contribution.
Aldridge concluded by saying that Wirtz has the quality to make a major impact, provided his strengths are fully harnessed within the team's system.
