Liverpool have received a recommendation to make every effort to sign Marc Guehi this summer. It is likely that the Reds will have to pay a substantial fee to Crystal Palace for the player, but there are indications that Guehi now wants the transfer to Anfield.
Arne Slot is the new manager at Liverpool, and he will be looking to quickly implement his ideas and get his players to adapt to his style. This is the first change in the Liverpool dug-out since Jurgen Klopp took over from Brendan Rodgers in October 2015. Slot has a tough act to follow, as Klopp is not only one of the most successful managers in the club’s history but also highly popular and charismatic.
However, Slot knows that he must do things his own way and not simply imitate his predecessor. He brings a winning mentality with him, having won two trophies in two seasons with Feyenoord. While there are similarities in his man-management style to Klopp, Slot aims to establish his own identity within the team.
As part of this process, Slot is focused on signing his own players. It is understood that a left-sided centre-half and a deep-lying midfielder are the club’s two main targets this summer.
