Arne Slot will be keen to stamp his authority on Liverpool this summer, despite inheriting an already-talented squad from Jurgen Klopp.
The Brazil international remains one of the best in the business and is capable of playing out from the back with ease. Defence:
Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, Willian Pacho, Rayan Ait-Nouri. A left-footed centre-back is likely to remain a transfer priority for Liverpool this summer, with Joel Matip set to depart as a free agent. Eintracht Frankfurt star Pacho has been heavily linked with a move to Liverpool this summer and he could be the ideal partner for Van Dijk.
Slot has often favoured fullbacks who can step into midfield or bomb forward and impact play in the final third, and Wolves’ Ait-Nouri could fit the bill for his demands in that role as a result. Midfield:
Alexis Mac Allister, Mats Wieffer; Dominik Szoboszlai. Although Liverpool underwent a midfield rebuild over the summer, they still haven’t found a player to complement Mac Allister. Slot may therefore push to reunite with Feyenoord’s Wieffer at Anfield, with the holding midfielder being a stalwart in his current side and surprisingly slipping under the radar of top clubs.
Curtis Jones and Wataru Endo can provide depth, with Thiago Alcantara being offloaded. This may include adverts from us and 3rd parties based on our understanding. You can unsubscribe at any time. It has emerged that Klopp was the driving force behind Darwin Nunez’s arrival on Merseyside, and his performances of late may struggle to convince Slot that he is the right man to lead the line for his side.
The Sweden international would be a costly acquisition but a long-term investment.
