My dad is retired and basically watches football full-time. Premier League teams should be paying him to be a scout. He could give you a list of the top five left-backs in Serie B, with their strengths and weaknesses and transfer values.
He's been raving about this Wirtz guy for quite a while now, and told me that he's basically been the best player in Germany for the past two seasons. He thinks the money being paid is a bargain.
Virgil van Dijk was huge money when he signed for Liverpool for about 75m pounds, but that is chump change when you look at the service they've received over the past seven years. Hopefully Wirtz is the same.
