Liverpool enjoyed a pre-season victory over Premier League rivals Arsenal overnight, and Arne Slot would surely have been pleased by what he saw from his players.
The Dutchman has stepped in as Jurgen Klopp’s successor, a challenging position given Klopp’s popularity at Anfield. Despite this, he has demonstrated to fans that he can get strong performances from essentially the same squad he inherited, even without making any new additions.
Liverpool still want Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon
With just two weeks remaining before the 2024/25 season begins and a month until the transfer window closes, Slot must decide whether to bring in new players before the first match or wait until the last moment, while knowing which positions need strengthening. Fabrizio Romano reports that a potentially controversial deal could still happen if the conditions are favorable.
He said to CaughtOffside in his exclusive Daily Briefing, “I’m getting many questions about Anthony Gordon, but all I was informed about was that Liverpool explored various potential swap deals in June, not the specific values reported in the media.”
“I don’t have confirmation on the figures being discussed, but it’s clear that Liverpool wanted Gordon and still considers him a top-quality winger. We’ll see what Liverpool does this month, but their admiration for Gordon is certain; I’m completely confident about that.”
