Clearly, Liverpool would not have committed to spending as much as $156 million (£116 million) on Florian Wirtz without a plan of how he would be used.
Florian Wirtz of Liverpool in action during a pre-season friendly match at AXA Training Centre.
(He played at right-back against Stoke, but that won't be a regular occurrence).
Szoboszlai was the main number 10 last season and could do that again should Wirtz play further forward?
In the case of Wirtz taking his spot, though, that would be good news for several others.
The Hungarian can play just as well as a number eight (and Slot won't want to lose his energy and ability to relentlessly press).
