If you have been keeping an eye on transfer rumours, you have likely seen that Liverpool are making a strong push to sign Florian Wirtz, reportedly closing in on a £150 million swoop for the Bayer Leverkusen star.
It has been reported by Fabrizio Romano that Wirtz has given Liverpool the green light, and the club are now working swiftly to finalise the deal. By the time you are reading this, the transfer may have gone through, or it may not have. But that is not the main focus here.
Instead, it is worth considering what Liverpool’s approach should tell Arsenal fans.
Liverpool’s transfer strategy appears swift, ambitious and precise. They are being proactive in the market, aiming to strengthen their squad early before other teams ramp up their business. Their reported interest in Milos Kerkez, alongside Wirtz, highlights a clear commitment to securing top-tier talent as soon as possible.
A wake-up call for Arsenal’s recruitment team
Liverpool’s ambition is evident. They want to improve, and they are making calculated moves before the market descends into last-minute panic buys.
This approach should make Arsenal fans reflect on their own club’s strategy. The Gunners have, at times, waited until deadline day, ending up with compromise signings after failing to secure first-choice targets earlier in the window.
Early transfers matter. Liverpool’s decisive action ensures that new signings integrate during pre-season, build chemistry with the squad and are fully prepared when the campaign begins.
Arsenal learned this the hard way during the Mikel Merino transfer saga. Negotiations dragged on to the point that the Spaniard missed pre-season, picked up an injury in his first training session and then required additional time to return to form.
If Liverpool spend £150 million, Arsenal must answer
Liverpool’s readiness to spend big on Wirtz raises the question: why should Arsenal not match that ambition for their own top striking target, Alexander Isak?
With Liverpool investing heavily in Wirtz, they are highly unlikely to fund two £150 million transfers in one window. That potentially opens the door for Arsenal to step forward with a serious bid.
It cannot be overstated how urgently Arsenal need the right attacking additions. A lack of goals has cost them matches they should have comfortably won. Entering another season without a Premier League-proven striker would be a gamble they simply cannot afford.
If Liverpool are prepared to invest £150 million for success, then Arsenal’s best response is to do the same with Isak.
