Arne Slot had said he was confident when it came to the club's plans - and they could be showing off several blockbuster names within weeks.

The Reds have just claimed Premier League glory despite barely touching their squad 12 months ago.

The Bayer Leverkusen man, formerly of Manchester City and Celtic, has a £30million release clause.

He's jetted to the UK as talks progress over a move for the Dutchman and his club team-mate Florian Wirtz could join him in a move that may shatter the British transfer record.
