Arne Slot refused to directly address transfer links between Liverpool and Jeremie Frimpong but he did say the club is always looking at "interesting players" who can strengthen the squad.

It was reported earlier this week that Liverpool is expected to pay Frimpong's release clause at Bayer Leverkusen, which is understood to stand at around $39 million.

Staying typically coy on the topic, Slot said: "We already have Conor Bradley, Joe Gomez, so it's not like when Trent is leaving I have no clue what to do anymore, but as a club, we are always looking at interesting players that can strengthen our squad.

It's quite difficult for a team that has already won the league to train so many days in a row.

I don't think we're the only team that gives players a few extra days off when you play on Sunday and then don't play again until the following Monday.

We think three days is more than enough time to be physically well prepared, and if we are mentally prepared for a very difficult game against a team that can play really well, that has nothing to do with if we had some time off, but that does maybe have something to with the fact that, apart from winning a game of football, there's nothing else at stake."
