Arne Slot will be the man appointed to take over from Jürgen Klopp at Liverpool, short of a dramatic late twist in the tale.

The Egyptian only has a year left on his contract and that will do nothing to squash talk that he could depart.

In truth, though, Salah remains Liverpool's most potent attacker.

For that reason, and considering the fact that Liverpool will return to an expanded Champions League format next season, it makes the most sense to add to the forward options that Slot will have available to him in 2024/25 rather than look at losing any.

If Slot is to make an instant impact at Liverpool, he is going to need to oversee an immediate improvement in the two most important areas: stability in defense, and efficiency in attack.

For that, in part, the solution can be getting more from what Liverpool already has; in all likelihood, though, FSG is going to have to turn to the transfer market too.

Signing another defender and another forward will mean that Liverpool takes another step forward again.

And if Slot is going to get people on board with the post-Klopp era instantly, that kind of progression will be vital.
