WAGO 221 connectors are a lot more compact than circular terminal boxes or screw down connector blocks. I've used them in existing back boxes in my own house.

+1 to what @slowmotion says. Wagos are pretty much the de-facto standard for this sort of thing now. The 221’s are rated to 32 Amps, so will most likely be well within spec for your socket circuit, but it would be prudent to just check what the MCB of the circuit is rated to.

Or he could just move the socket by 2”.
Good advice , or fit a wall mounted junction box upstream of the socket as pointed out by @twentysix by twentyfive
