Liverpool’s summer will see change as Arne Slot enters to succeed Jurgen Klopp after nine years at the club.
The squad is already in a very healthy shape; it has a brilliant mix of youth and experience and is primed for a successful year of challenging for trophies but there may be one or two tweaks in the form of signings that help Slot carry out his philosophy. Moreover, there are decisions to make over returning players, younger talents and whether squad depth is needed after winning just one trophy last season. And, as always, the rumour mill is working overtime prior to the transfer window opening which is linking Liverpool to a whole host of talented stars.
Therefore, we’ve decided to look at what their rumoured XI could look like if all the rumours are true.
