Not just Florian Wirtz - Liverpool have ANOTHER exciting German wonderkid
And there's another lesser known youngster at the club who is following in their footsteps at the moment and will hope to follow in their footsteps of Wirtz, too, having been likened to Jamal Musiala.
His name is Vincent Joseph and he plays for Liverpool's U16 team and Germany's U15 national team.

Many in Germany have likened him to Musiala due to his playing style and the fact that he grew up in England and could play for the Three Lions as well but has opted to represent Germany at the moment.
The 15-year-old has been catching the eye at academy level this season. An attacking midfielder, who can also play as a no.10 and out wide and even as a striker, Joseph has been at the club since U9 level, penning his first contract in the presence of Trent Alexander-Arnold almost seven years ago as per Liverpool's official website.
He captained Liverpool at Bayern Munich's U15 Elite Cup last year and has been regularly playing for the club's U16 team this season.
A goal-scorer, who can take players on one vs one and play comfortably with his back to goal, Joseph scored hat-tricks against the likes of Everton and Stockport already this season.

He's been catching the eye in youth tournaments across Europe, just take a look at this rabona assist he made in a tournament in Poland earlier this year in the video above.
Joseph comes from a footballing family. His older brother, Valentin, plays for Blackburn Rovers' U18 team and is also an exciting prospect with 14 goal contributions in 19 matches - close to a goal or assist every 92 minutes in the U18 Premier League this season - including three goal contributions in two matches against Liverpool.
He's an exciting prospect with a lot of potential.
After so many years of not having exciting German players in the team, ironically while playing under the most successful German manager in recent history, Liverpool could now have two of Germany's brightest prospects.
