Liverpool have opened talks with Feyenoord over appointing Arne Slot as their new manager with the 45-year-old keen to succeed Jürgen Klopp at Anfield.
Slot has emerged as the frontrunner for the Liverpool job with his track record of improving young talent, success on a relatively modest budget, European experience and a style of play that is not a dramatic departure from Klopp’s, all appealing to Anfield’s recruitment team.
