Bayer Leverkusen's impressive start to the 2023-24 season is a testament to the remarkable performances delivered by several players.
Throughout the campaign, fullbacks Alex Grimaldo and Jeremie Frimpong have played pivotal roles, complementing the goalscoring prowess of Nigerian forward Victor Boniface.
However, the team's dynamic and high-scoring style under the management of Xabi Alonso, owes much to the exceptional form of German midfield sensation Florian Wirtz.
At just 20 years old, Wirtz considered one of the most sought-after talents in football, has been a driving force behind Bayer Leverkusen's early charge in the Bundesliga.
Since overcoming an ACL rupture suffered in 2020, Wirtz has consistently improved, contributing to 15 goals in as many appearances this season, as reported by Whoscored.

FootballUnsurprisingly, his outstanding performances have attracted interest from top clubs, including Bayern Munich, Manchester United, and Barcelona. It seems inevitable that Wirtz's remarkable talent will lead him away from the Bayer Arena.
Given Leverkusen are almost certain to lose the midfielder to one of these European giants in the summer, the Bundesliga club has slammed a price tag on the 20-year-old.
According to reports from Caught Offside, the youngster will only be allowed to leave Leverkusen if any club matches the €120 million price tag set by the Bundesliga club.
While the fee appears a little too much for a player with just 119 senior career appearances, some Europe elite clubs would fancy taking their chances on the talented star given the way the transfer of Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham has panned out.

FootballSports Brief earlier reported that Boniface has reportedly caught the eye of Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, as the Spanish manager seeks a rival for Erling Haaland.
The Bayer Leverkusen forward is a type of striker that fits into the former Barcelona manager's style of play, as he is not only just about goals but can give more options in attack.
The Cityzens are not the only European club side believed to be monitoring the 22-year-old, with Serie A giants Juventus also on the lookout for an opportunity to swoop in.
