How Liverpool could line up under Arne Slot with three transfers after new manager update
Arne Slot is the leading candidate to replace Jurgen Klopp as the Liverpool manager over the summer. The current Feyenoord boss is now in talks with the club over a possible move.
It has come extremely quickly for the 45-year-old after Liverpool had made Xabi Alonso their priority target. Ruben Amorim and Julien Nagelsmann were other names linked whilst Roberto De Zerbi has been on the periphery of conversations.

Coming off the back of winning Eredivisie in the 2022/23 campaign, Slot won the Dutch Cup at the weekend and has built an impressive resume in his time as a manager so far.
