Arne Slot could hand Mohamed Salah a new role at Liverpool as the Egyptian is reportedly expected to stay at the club.

Even though things will be much the same with Arne Slot as manager of Liverpool, things are not going to be identical.



Under Klopp, Liverpool have often gone long and made a lot of switches but under Slot that will not be the case.

As reported, Mohamed Salah is expected to stay at Liverpool, and the club is set to enter contract negotiations to renew his current deal.

This could suit an ageing Salah more, and it could see him take up a more central role as either an attacking midfielder or as a number nine in Slot’s system.

Moving him to the middle will not only make him a better fit for Slot, but it could also prolong his Liverpool career and put him in areas where he is the most dangerous.

Arne Slot has typically used a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 system, with either two attacking midfielders or one attacking midfielder playing in behind one or two defensive midfielders.
