REDS HOT SUMMER

Slot quickly laying down the foundations so Liverpool are equipped on four fronts

THE confetti had barely been cleared from the Anfield pitch after Liverpool's Premier League title celebrations and the focus was firmly on 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 are anything to go by.

This will be the window when Arne Slot 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 for splashing out but recruitment will be backed by the owners, FSG, and sales.

The mantra remains the same. Spend on what they believe is value rather than for the sake of it.
