It is now over three months since Jürgen Klopp announced he would be stepping down as Liverpool manager.

The search for his successor has seen a host of managers linked but it appears Arne Slot will be in the Anfield dugout next season.

Liverpool has reached an agreement with Feyenoord for the Dutchman, reports BBC Sport, with contract talks now set to get underway.

Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler believes Klopp's exit has impacted his players and believes his replacement will have to quickly get the players on side this summer.
