Arne Slot said Liverpool could make additions in the transfer market before the window shuts next week.

Jamie Carragher has called for Liverpool to make additions in the market, while Slot did admit earlier this month that at one more signing was probably needed in the attacking areas.
Asked whether he felt Liverpool would strengthen in the transfer market before Monday, Slot said: "I think I said after Monday, I could make a make a sub to impact the game
"As always we try to sign players to help us but there are no reasons to think after two games we need more
There are only a few days so let’s see."
Asked on whether Woltemade's arrival could result in Isak's possible exit, Slot said: "Newcastle, if it’s true, are about the sign a new no.9 that’s nice for Eddie [Howe] as Anthony [Gordon] is suspended and [Alexander] Isak is not training."
