Florian Wirtz has reportedly completed the first part of his Liverpool medical ahead of his sensational British record £116million move to Anfield.

Wirtz flew out from Cologne before landing at Manchester Airport on Thursday afternoon and will become the Reds' second major signing of the summer after Jeremie Frimpong also arrived from Bayer Leverkusen.

According to Sky Germany, the first round of his medical checks proceeded without a hitch while the second half will take place on Friday.

The playmaker will then officially put pen to paper on an expected five-year contract.
