The headline news is that Florian Wirtz will don the No. 7 shirt during his debut season for the Reds following his blockbuster £116 million ($153.5 million) move from Bayer Leverkusen. The German has never worn the number previously during his senior career but the switch sees him join a pantheon of Liverpool legends.

Liverpool have unveiled their new home and away kits for the new season as they collaborate with adidas for the first time in 13 years. As is tradition, the home colours are red from top to toe, said to present “the club’s DNA in its purest form” with a dark strawberry red colourway and the classic Liver Bird crest.
