As Liverpool prepare to move on from Jurgen Klopp, the summer transfer window will be a key one, and it could be Arne Slot making the big decisions.
Feyenoord manager Slot has emerged as the leading candidate to take the reins when Klopp ends his nine-year tenure in the summer. The Dutchman, who turned down Spurs before the London club appointed Ange Postecoglou, is set to follow up last season's title win with a second-place finish behind PSV Eindhoven this term.
The returning Michael Edwards is likely to have a major say in any transfer business over the summer, but Klopp had involvement during Edwards' previous spell. Slot has overseen significant player turnover across the last 12 months, just as Klopp did with his midfield rebuild at Anfield, and he knows how to bring starters into a squad.
Feyenoord signed more than 10 players - either permanently or on loan, since the summer of 2023. Here, Mirror Football has taken a look at the last 10 to get a feel for what Liverpool fans might expect if the 45-year-old comes in.
Slot's most recent signing is a player who hasn't actually joined Feyenoord yet. Algerian forward Hadj Moussa will arrive in the summer, just a few months after making his Eredivisie debut on loan at Vitesse.
The 22-year-old has two goals and two assists in all competitions in the Netherlands, having begun the season in the Belgian second tier. His arrival suggests a willingness to back a player of limited top level experience as long as the promise is there.
Another youngster, Van Sas joined from Manchester City's academy in September. The 20-year-old goalkeeper has yet to make his senior Feyenoord debut, but has been on the bench in the Champions League and Europa League this term.
