New Liverpool manager Arne Slot intends to build the team around four key players, with Mohamed Salah being a central figure. According to the UK Telegraph, Slot, who was officially confirmed as Jurgen Klopp’s successor on Monday, has already started planning for the upcoming season despite not officially starting until June 1.
Slot’s strategic vision includes not only Salah but also captain Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Darwin Nunez. Van Dijk had cast doubt over his future following Klopp’s departure from Anfield, but Slot aims to keep him as a foundational player in the squad.
The Dutch manager also sees Trent Alexander-Arnold as an integral part of his plans. Additionally, Slot views Darwin Nunez as a “critical” player, praising some of his attributes as “extraordinary.”
As Slot prepares to take charge, his focus on these four players highlights his approach to building a competitive and cohesive team for the new season.
