Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah has called for patience from the fans as the Reds gear up for the new season, with a host of new signings set to make their debuts.

The Premier League champions, managed by Arne Slot, are preparing to face FA Cup winners Crystal Palace in the Community Shield at Wembley this afternoon.

The Merseyside club have been busy in the transfer market this summer, bringing in eight new players for a combined total of nearly £300million, with five of those expected to become key players very quickly.

New arrivals likely to feature against Palace include club record £116m signing Florian Wirtz, £79m Hugo Ekitike, £40m Milos Kerkez and £29m Jeremie Frimpong, with £29m goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili also named in the squad.
