A Liverpool player who is currently excelling while out on loan is set to be handed a chance to impress in pre-season.

It seems likely that it will be Arne Slot taking Liverpool forward after Jurgen Klopp’s departure at the end of the season.

The Mirror reports that Sepp van den Berg is set to get a chance to ‘impress’ during pre-season.

The young centre-back is currently on loan at Bundesliga outfit Mainz, where he’s racked up 33 appearances in all competitions this season.

Despite a difficult season for Mainz as they sit third bottom in the league, Van den Berg has impressed in the heart of defence.

This has proven to be the case for Van den Berg, who had made just four appearances for the Reds before joining Mainz last summer. 

Based on the statistics alone, the 22-year-old is among the best young centre-backs in Europe right now.

Given the fact that Joel Matip could depart on a free transfer this summer, it would make sense for Liverpool to hand Van den Berg a chance to impress.
