00:00Liverpool's marquee summer signing Florian Wirtz believes that if Arnie Schlott gives him the freedom to play his natural game,
00:09he can make the Premier League champions even stronger.
00:14The 22-year-old German international signed from Bayer Leverkusen in June for £100 million in a deal that could rise to a British record 116.
00:22He's already had his image placed on the Kop. He leads a summer spending spree already exceeding £265 million with further moves including interest for top players still possible.
00:36Wirtz unfazed by his price tag focused on improving a side that secured the title with four games to spare last season.
00:43I came here to play my best football and because I thought I could fit right into this team, he said.
00:48It's getting better every time and I'm happy with how it's going.
00:52After first pulling on a Liverpool shirt during the club's pre-season tour of the Far East,
00:59Wirtz scored against Yokohama F Mariano's and featured against AC Milan before starting in Monday's Bilbao Clash.
01:07Operating in an advanced midfield role, he twice came close to scoring and relished the creative licence granted by Schlott.
01:16I'm a player who needs freedom on the pitch and the manager gives it to me, he said.
01:20I'll try to find the right spaces and be dangerous and create chances.
01:25Wirtz joins fellow new arrivals Jeremy Frimpong, Milos Kerkes, Hugo Eketike and goalkeeper Giorgio Mamashvelli in Schlott's reshaped squat.
01:35This summer has brought change beyond new signings with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Luis Diaz, Koma in Kelleher and Gerard Kwanza departing and the club still mourning the recent death of Diogo Jota.
01:47Despite the turnover, Wirtz believes the influx of fresh faces will be a benefit.
01:53It's good that we have new players coming in at the same time, he said.
01:57We can connect, talk to each other about how we feel and it helps us all to settle into the team.
02:03With ambition high and talent flooding in, Liverpool's new era under Schlott promises excitement, energy and the hunger to dominate once again.
