Although it hasn't been confirmed, Arne Slot looks more than likely to succeed Jürgen Klopp as Liverpool boss this summer.

Everyone is just waiting for the announcement at this point.

Speculation grew quickly last week that Liverpool had identified the Feyenoord coach as the man to replace Klopp at the end of this season.



The Dutchman confirmed talks had taken place between Liverpool and Feyenoord and he wanted to leave the Eredivisie side in order to replace Klopp at Anfield.

Despite no official confirmation on his appointment, speculation has now started as to who Slot's first signing could be this summer.

He might not have final say over any such transfer business, with Michael Edwards and incoming sporting director Richard Hughes taking the lead under a new sporting structure, but there will still be plenty of intrigue around the player to kick off this new era.

According to website HITC, Slot could look to his current side Feyenoord and bring midfielder Mats Wieffer to Merseyside with him.

Wieffer helped Slot deliver a league and cup double last season.

A versatile player, Wieffer can play in various positions in midfield and has been known to drop into defense when needed.

Having the trio at Anfield, in addition to Slot, could entice Wieffer to make the jump to the Premier League come the end of the season.

With Wieffer only 24, his age fits FSG's profile, an he could probably be signed for a relatively small fee.
