Arne Slot has revealed the Liverpool squad do not know who will be the club’s next vice-captain, but the player in question has been told.

The identity of Virgil van Dijk’s deputy has become an increasingly prominent topic in recent weeks following reports that Andy Robertson has been selected to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold, who was the No.

2 captain before he joined Real Madrid in June.

But Robertson has since denied he is the new vice-captain.

So many things can happen in football in a month, so let's wait and see.

“First, we go back home and then we're going to play at Anfield next week

Andy Robertson is rumored to have been named Liverpool's new vice-captain

One obvious theory, somewhat supported by Slot’s comments, is that the new vice-captain could potentially still leave the club before the end of the transfer window.

In that case, Robertson would very much fit the bill

He is expected to play a backup role this season for the first time in his Liverpool career, following the summer arrival of Milos Kerkez.

Robertson was linked with a move to Atletico Madrid earlier this window, although talk has subsequently died down.

With three left-backs in Slot’s squad, one of Robertson or Kostas Tsimikas is likely to depart before the transfer window shuts on September 1.

Both defenders played the second half in Liverpool’s 3-1 victory over Yokohama, with Florian Wirtz, Trey Nyoni and Rio Ngumoha grabbing the all-important goals.
