Arne Slot was reportedly sounded out as a potential candidate to take charge of Dutch giants Ajax this coming summer. The waning Eredivisie outfit are thought to have been swiftly rebuffed in another sign of Liverpool’s staunch commitment to their current coach.

The former Netherlands youth international won the Dutch top flight as manager of Feyenoord and took AZ Alkmaar to the brink of a rare championship only to be foiled by the COVID-19 pandemic halting the season. Ajax were Slot’s closest challengers during his time in the league but the Amsterdam outfit have endured a precipitous decline recently.
