With a chequered injury history, it makes sense for all parties to part ways and Liverpool look to go younger.

Joe Gomez – WINNER

The 2023-24 campaign has been a crucial one for Gomez’s career as he has re-established himself as a key part of Liverpool’s squad through his quality of performances and versatility.

Filling in at both full-back positions and as a No 6, Slot is inheriting a player comfortable in multiple positions across the back line.

However, it may be an area Slot feels he can upgrade in.

Dominik Szoboszlai – WINNER

If Slot’s former assistant coach at AZ Alkmaar, Julian Jenner, believes Szoboszlai will play a big part in the new era, then it bodes well for the 23-year-old.

The unlimited potential of the Hungary international was on display in the first half of the season as he ran the show from midfield, but his form in the second half, since returning from injury, has dipped dramatically.

Szoboszlai appears to suit the most advanced midfield role.

That can be a positive because losing possession constantly opens up transition opportunities for the opposition, but this may not suit Slot, who wants to play dynamic, attacking football.

Stefan Bajcetic – UNCERTAIN

With a handful of under-21 appearances under his belt, Bajcetic finally looks to have put over 12 months of injuries behind him.

The exciting 18-year-old has not had the chance to build on his impressive few months at the start of 2023, when he flourished as both a No 6 and No 8 in Klopp’s 4-3-3.

Had he been able to stay fit consistently, Slot would have had an interesting decision to make on a player at the end of his contract but who possesses the passing range and tempo control he wants from midfielders.

After becoming a false nine at Liverpool, in recent months he has been most effective on the left flank.

Gakpo is unlikely to become a 20-goal-a-season No 9, but his skill set does suit what Slot wants from his wingers.

However, the more advanced No 10 role could be an ideal compromise and allow Gakpo to flourish centrally while having another forward ahead of him.

The youngsters

Feyenoord’s squad this season has an average age of 23.9 and one of the big appeals of Slot to Liverpool was his willingness to work with young players and develop them.
