Florian Wirtz has landed in England for his Liverpool medical ahead of a British record £116m move to the club. Liverpool came to a verbal agreement with Bayer Levekusen last week after seeing three bids turned down, with a fourth and final offer worth an initial £100m plus add-ons being accepted.

Florian Wirtz has been spotted landing in the UK ahead of his move to Liverpool. It was confirmed last week that the Reds have agreed a £116 million deal with Bayer Leverkusen to sign the 22-year-old in what could become the most expensive British transfer ever.

Florian Wirtz is not yet a Liverpool player, but the Anfield club are already plotting to break the transfer record he will set in what is quickly becoming a historical transfer window for the Merseyside club.

The Reds are now closing in on a deal to sign Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, with a fee understood to be in the region of £40million, as indicated by Anfield Index sources.

Liverpool will begin its latest Premier League title defense at home to Bournemouth on Aug. 15 while Manchester United will host Arsenal in the opening round of next season.
