Liverpool appears to be closing in on the appointment of Feyenoord boss Arne Slot to replace Jürgen Klopp at the end of the season.

It's believed that negotiations with both the club and the manager are ongoing.

Slot himself is said to be very keen to take the job, according to Sky Sports, so it's expected the process could move quickly once Liverpool finalizes a deal with Feyenoord.



Slot's side has a 12-point margin to third with four games to play, so is more or less guaranteed to end the season as runner-up.

That does beg one question: why aren't the Reds after the man finishing first?

PSV has enjoyed a near-faultless campaign akin to that of Xabi Alonso at Bayer Leverkusen, winning 26 of 30 league games and losing just once.

Such a question was put to PSV manager Peter Bosz in light of the links between Liverpool and Slot.

Slot himself has come somewhat out of left-field, but looks to be moving ever closer to the role.

Liverpool.com says: PSV is having a wonderful season, and will be confirmed as champion ahead of Feyenoord soon.

Perhaps more importantly, Slot's second place this season is a significant overperformance compared to financial resources, something FSG is bound to value highly.

It's also only fair to note that Slot did lead Feyenoord to a league title last season, upsetting the relative stranglehold possessed by Ajax and PSV over the last two decades.
