Arne Slot held her press conference before the second match of the Liverpool season in the Premier League against Newcastle United, revealing that he is satisfied with the current team.
“As always, if we think we can improve in a certain position and there is a player available who can really improve us – what you might see with Giovanni Leoni – then this club has always shown that they can bring these players, but only if things are fine,” said Dutch.
“The transfer rights, the good player, the right position and a player who wants to come to us.”
Slot also suggested that the return to the form of Federico Chiesa will improve its depth of attack: “I see a Federico completely different now than for most of last season.”
Asked about his next opposition, he underlined the threat they pose in the future: “The main thing we have to be ready is their fields, their last attackers, their three attackers. I guess ISAK does not play, but they still have Gordon like new, Elaga, Barnes, Jacob Murphy. ”
Slot also revealed that Liverpool had undergone a blow that will affect their ability to deal with the attack on Newcastle, because their new right back, Jeremie Frimpong, made an injury that will see him out of action until the international break.
Liverpool’s eyes are on Newcastle in more ways than the simple confrontation of the Premier League, because they plot another offer for one of the star players of the Magpies.
Liverpool is preparing a new Isak offer
Liverpool is preparing another offer for Alexander Isak from Newcastle United. The Reds had previously bidden 110 million pounds sterling plus the additional modules for the Swedish striker, but this agreement was rejected. Now, while Newcastle Edge closer to the signature of Yoane Wissa and also aligns the star of Wolves Jorgen Strand Larsen, Liverpool is preparing a new offer for Isak.
Spanish reports have indicated that the new offer was worth somewhere in the region of 138 million pounds sterling. The club considers these massive costs to be valid, however, because they think that “its arrival would fill the gap after the imminent end of the Salah era”.
The offer can happen after the two clubs clashed on Monday because Newcastle does not sell its best player to a team just before playing them.
From the player’s point of view, he has now come to the point that he pushes publicly for the move, when he published a statement before the PFA Awards, where he spoke of the broken promises of Newcastle and the advantages of the “change” for the two parties.
What happens to Ekitike if Liverpool signs Isak?
While Hugo Ekitike had an impressive season last year in the Bundesliga, he arrived in the Premier League as something unknown, and when it seemed that Liverpool could sign it and Isak, the latter looked the safest of the two.
Ekitike quickly put doubts about him to rest with his first two performances for Liverpool. During the community shield and the first Premier League match, he recorded two goals and a decisive pass, showing that he is easily adapted to English football.
This means that the location can be faced with the best difficult situation in which a manager could find himself, because he has two impressive attackers in competition for playing time. Although Isak may want to enter the first team directly, he has moved away from team training in Newcastle for some time, which means that it can take a few weeks to get up to date.
A response to the slot problem can happen before it becomes too much problem. Indeed, in less than a month, the group phase of the Champions League will begin, which means that Liverpool will often play two games a week, and there should be many minutes to share.
