'He's a very special player'

Wirtz has followed in Frimpong’s footsteps by joining the Reds from Bayer Leverkusen this summer, meaning the close friends will continue to be teammates.

The duo shared four-and-a-half successful seasons at the Bundesliga club and Frimpong is excited by the prospect of linking back up with Wirtz as fresh additions to the Premier League champions’ squad.

When asked what Liverpool supporters can expect from the Germany playmaker, Frimpong told Sky Sports: “Just expect a winner. He’s a very, very, very special player and for me, he’s a very hard-working guy. The league will love him – I haven’t got to talk too much, just watch him!

“Flo, he doesn’t crumble under pressure – he likes pressure. He’s a guy that likes pressure. I feel like when you’re on the pitch you forget about everything, you just enjoy football, you just play and Flo is one of the guys who makes you enjoy football, just seeing how he plays.

“He’s going to be perfect and he’s playing with Liverpool players [too] – so he’s going to be perfect. He’s going to be fine.”
