Aldridge says he's already been impressed by Wirtz in the opening games of the season.
He wrote for the Liverpool Echo: "Florian Wirtz is quickly finding out that the Premier League is not the Bundesliga following his introduction to Liverpool this season.
"Opponents are pinpointing the Germany international as the dangerman now at Anfield and he has been tightly marked in all four of the Reds' games so far. I think he is still adjusting to the lack of space that he previously used to enjoy for Bayer Leverkusen but he will get there in time, he is such a smooth player to watch.
"Arne Slot might have to tweak one or two things to get Wirtz properly purring but he has shown flashes of quality and good players often find themselves being crowded out because other teams quickly figure out they are the ones who can make things happen.
"I think this is happening at the moment for Wirtz and he reminds me a bit of the great Peter Beardsley in his movements, he is such a silky player at times, he almost glides across the turf in his movements."
