He looks a shadow of his former self in the Premier League and was recently called out by former Reds defender Jamie Carragher, who pleaded with Andoni Iraola to take him out of the firing line.

Over the last few weeks, some observers have dubbed Wirtz the biggest flop in Premier League history, but Express Sport readers believe another player deserves that unwanted title.

Wirtz only received 16 per cent of the vote in our latest football poll, which asked readers who they would name as the Premier League's biggest disappointment.

Jadon Sancho ended up as the player with the most votes, with 37 per cent of respondents picking the former Manchester United winger.

However, he never managed to make his mark at Old Trafford and was heavily criticised for his attitude away from the pitch.

Sancho's former United team-mate Antony was in second place, receiving 24 per cent of the vote, with Wirtz in third.

Unlike many of the others, Wirtz still has the opportunity to reverse his reputation and will be hoping to find some form at Liverpool over the course of this season.

However, if he continues to struggle on a weekly basis, he will be remembered as one of the worst big-money signings in Premier League history.
