Conor Bradley believes Liverpool are fortunate to have Florian Wirtz in their team as the attacking midfielder’s improvement continues. Wirtz scored his first goal since arriving in the summer from Bayer Leverkusen in a \u00a3116million deal when netting in the 2-1 home Premier League<\/a> win over Wolves last Saturday.<\/p>\n December proved a profitable month for the Germany international, with an assist at Tottenham Hotspur, forcing an own goal against Sunderland and winning the decisive penalty in the Champions League<\/a> at Inter.<\/p>\n And Bradley<\/a> has expressed his delight at the 22-year-old Wirtz<\/a> finally getting off the mark at the 23rd attempt for the Reds.<\/a><\/p>\n READ MORE: Liverpool set-piece coach Aaron Briggs LEAVES Reds after dire record<\/a>READ MORE: Federico Chiesa targeted by Juventus for Liverpool January transfer<\/a><\/p>\n “I was buzzing for him,” said Bradley. “Obviously he’s had to wait a little bit of time for it, but I was so happy for him.<\/p>\n “He’s such a terrific player. We see it in training every day, how good he is with the ball.<\/p>\n “You’d rather have him on your team than not on your team, put it that way. He’s terrific to have.<\/p>\n “You can sort of just give him the ball in any area of the pitch and he’s able to do something with it and keep the ball for us. He’s so important to have and we’re lucky to have him.”<\/p>\n Bradley came off the bench for the final half-hour against Wolves and made an important intervention to prevent visiting substitute Jhon Arias from scoring an equaliser.<\/p>\n And after recently missing five out of six games through injury and then suspension before being forced off at half-time at Tottenham with a blow to the knee, the Northern Ireland international has declared himself ready for Thursday’s home clash against Leeds United, where the Reds drew 3-3 less than four weeks ago.<\/p>\n
