Former Tottenham Hotspur and England midfielder David Bentley stated that Liverpool’s Florian Wirtz bears a strong resemblance to AC Milan’s Luka Modric.
David Bentley
He is an unbelievable player, so talented, fans and pundits have to stick by him. When Modric came through the door, he was exactly the same in the way he receives the ball, scans, he knows what he is doing. He was an unbelievably technically gifted player, and both can set the tone and tempo of a football match, so you have to stick with him.
Wirtz joined Liverpool in the summer of 2025 from German club Bayer Leverkusen, signing a contract with the English side until June 30, 2030.
This season, the 22-year-old midfielder has appeared in 15 matches for Liverpool across all competitions, providing three assists.
Modric played for Tottenham Hotspur from 2008 to 2012. The 40-year-old Croatian now plays for AC Milan.
