Liverpool are expected to make ‘three or four’ acquisitions in Arne Slot’s first transfer window.
Arne Slot is set to be confirmed as Jurgen Klopp’s successor. The new Liverpool manager faces a hectic summer transfer window as he continues the renovation that began last year. Former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock believes the club will make “three or four” additions during Arne Slot’s first transfer window in charge. Slot is likely to be confirmed as Liverpool’s next manager soon, following Jürgen Klopp as the German prepares for his last three games in charge.
