Wirtz already has two goals and three assists in three appearances for Bayer Leverkusen this term. The most impressive part of that is that he only started ONE of the games that he’s featured in so far.
To be producing numbers like that and earning international call-ups at his tender age is mightily impressive. You get the impression that it’s only a matter of time before a move to a bigger club materialises.
Chelsea and Man City ought to be considered frontrunners out of the four merely because of their financial riches. Tottenham and Arsenal would be able to offer him a more plausible route to the starting XI.
