It feels strange to suggest that, despite cruising to the Premier League title with four games remaining, the feeling is that a number of Arne Slot’s Liverpool charges are still performing slightly below their true potential.

Ibrahima Konate could become a Premier League ‘great’ but, right now, the Frenchman is some way off matching the impeccable standards of his centre-back partner Virgil van Dijk.

Cody Gakpo feels he has reached another level under Arne Slot, exceeding last season’s tally of 16 in nine fewer matches.



The 17-goal Dutchman still has a few gears to move through, however, as he looks to emulate the success of his left-wing predecessor Sadio Mane.

And while Arne Slot is no doubt about the importance of Dominik Szoboszlai – arguably the most athletic and forceful of Liverpool’s midfield triumvirate – the £60 million signing from RB Leipzig is yet to unlock the goalscoring streak that would elevate him into one of the planet’s premiere operators.

Szoboszlai has a respectable seven goals and eight assists to his name this season.

But, for a footballer blessed with such pure ball-striking ability, many Liverpool supporters are understandably demanding more.

Double figures, both for goals and assists, feels like a realistic target ahead what Arne Slot hopes will be a successful title defence in 2025/26.

Former Anfield stalwart Jamie Carragher feels Liverpool may need a Cole Palmer or their answer to Man City’s Phil Foden if they are to ease the goalscoring burden on runaway top scorer Mo Salah.

Ferencvaros can move to within touching distance of a seventh-straight title by beating their rivals on Saturday.

Keane, while paying tribute to the outstanding work Slot has done on Merseyside, was also asked about Szoboszlai’s impact.

He is not alone in demanding a little more, even if his first two years in England have been anything but unsuccesful.

“The coach [Arne Slot] trusts Szoboszlai and he plays him a lot,” says Keane.

“This season must have given him a lot of confidence and he’s been an important player for Liverpool.”

Keane, who scored only five Premier League goals during a brief spell at Liverpool in 2008/09, is in no doubt that the title is in the right hands.

“It’s clear that Liverpool were the best team in the Premier League season,” adds the former Tottenham, Aston Villa, Leeds United and Inter Milan marksman.
