And there were two standouts, in particular, that could help secure a seamless transition for Liverpool's next manager.

Given his tactical similarity to Jürgen Klopp, Liverpool has ensured that there will be minimal disruption as far as learning a new approach goes.

That is one of the benefits of Slot coming in over the previous favorite Xabi Alonso — and one which could ensure that Liverpool remain competitive across all competitions after a single transfer window.

The Netherlands international was often at the heart of Liverpool's best attacks, showcasing his ability to hold the ball up before linking play with others around him.

Díaz certainly suits Slot's vertical style of play more than what a manager like Alonso might have opted for, which should see the current Feyenoord boss keen to keep him at Anfield despite links of a potential move away.

And with Michael Edwards leading football operations as FSG's CEO of Football, it is unlikely Liverpool will move in reverse like Manchester United did when Sir Alex Ferguson left.

There are obvious glowing strengths to the current squad, which will only need around three signings at most to give Slot the best chance to succeed at Anfield.
