ARNE ARMY

Slot starting to stamp his own mark on Kop squad

THE confetti had barely been cleared from the Anfield pitch after Liverpool's Premier League title celebrations when the focus turned to making sure the trophy will remain there next season.

This summer is going to be busy for the Reds if the first few days of the transfer market being open are anything to go by.

This will be the window when Arne Slot (inset) starts to really put his touch to the team.

Not only to make it more his squad, but also to ensure they can compete on four fronts next season.

This is a summer of adding more depth and moving on players who do not fit the criteria or in the case of Caoimhin Kelleher - need to be guaranteed much more playing time.

Those close to the club stress there is not a transfer war chest to be splashed out on but recruitment will be backed by the owners, FSG, and sales.
