Liverpool are set to break the British transfer record when the deal is completed for Florian Wirtz's $160m transfer from Bayer Leverkusen. It's one that has Liverpool fans salivating and is described by the club as a "game-changer".

Stan Collymore broke the British transfer record when Liverpool signed him for £8.5m in 1995. He scored 35 goals across two seasons at Anfield, forming a potent strike partnership with Robbie Fowler. In his first season, he scored five goals in Liverpool's FA Cup run, which ultimately ended in defeat by Manchester United in the final.

Premier League champions Liverpool have agreed a fee of 136.3 million euros ($156.75 million) to sign Germany's attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz from Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen, British media reported on Friday.
