Arne Slot has been cautioned that he faces greater pressure than ever at Liverpool following a $405 million (£300 million) outlay to strengthen a squad that swept to the Premier League title last season.
Slot's fellow Dutchman Wim Kieft, the former international striker who now works as a leading pundit in Holland, believes the expectations at Anfield will climb even higher should the Reds manage to secure a deal for Alexander Isak from Newcastle before the transfer window shuts.
Liverpool have already secured Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong in the club's most expensive recruitment drive to date.
He has been pumping fresh blood in his team of champions with big-money signings - and he had a decent team!
"If he now succeeds in getting Alexander Isak away from Newcastle, he would have a really great number of additions.
"It must be wonderful for Slot that he is allowed to spend, but bringing in all these big stars means a really big amount of responsibility for him now," reports the Mirror.
It really is the team of Arne Slot and that allows us to really judge Slot?
If he does get Isak, he really will have some team on paper."
