Defending Premier League champions Liverpool could look very different come the start of next season.
That tactic of course led to Liverpool winning every trophy possible with Roberto Firmino up top under Jurgen Klopp.
Slot is a big fan of PSG, Liverpool's Champions League conquerors, and they have used Ousmane Dembele as an unorthodox No.9 this season supported by two No.10s.
Then, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson stayed wide rather than inverting, and provided dynamism and crossing threat from wide areas.
All three of Bradley, Frimpong and Kerkez love to power forward and if the two new boys are asked to attack as freely as they do for Bournemouth and Leverkusen, that would create overloads for the opposition.
They'd have the threat of the full-backs to deal with out wide while Salah and the left winger run inside and Wirtz floats and links ominously like Firmino did.
Next season those two central midfielders would be Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister, while Frimpong/Bradley and Kerkez hold the width, Wirtz links play and Diaz/Gakpo and Salah look to make penetrating runs or combine up with Wirtz.
Would it work?
Slot has proven this season he is incredibly intelligent tactically.
Add those three into the picture and Liverpool will be a whole new problem for Premier League opponents to contend with next season.
