Former Liverpool attacker Dirk Kuyt insists Arne Slot will be a good fit at Anfield, assuring supporters that he possesses the right assets to be a success.

Liverpool have reached an agreement with Feyenoord for Slot to replace Jurgen Klopp as manager.

He allowed Kuyt to shadow him for a week before last year’s Eredivisie title triumph, a feat which was highly revered in Holland.

The achievement was so impressive given the 45-year-old had been forced to rebuild his side after losing a plethora of key players in the summer, including top scorer Luis Sinisterra, who was sold to Leeds United - a club that was linked with Slot upon Jesse March’s sacking last year.
