Cult of Chiesa & Wirtz the wait?

THE ATHLETIC
About this episode

Simon Hughes and Gregg Evans are alongside Tony Evans to get stuck into the latest Liverpool talking points, with plenty of transfer news to get stuck into.


Before getting to the latest on the Reds' pursuit of Florian Wirtz the panel discuss comments made by both Federico Chiesa and Harvey Elliott about their respective futures, while also considering Chiesa's 'cult' status with supporters during the Premier League title celebrations.


The Athletic's Bundesliga correspondent Seb Stafford-Bloor drops by to chat Wirtz explaining why he may well have made the choice to favour Liverpool over Bayern Munich and Manchester City.
