Liverpool beat Bournemouth to move nine points clear in the Premier League title race - Arne Slot was asked about Milos Kerkez during his post-match press conference

Fortunately for Liverpool, who appear to be biding their time in the winter transfer market, Slot has already been given up-close-and-personal messages by two prospective forward additions. Earlier this week Johan Bakayoko tore apart a makeshift Reds back four, scoring the opening goal as PSV defeated Liverpool 3-2 in the Champions League.

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has said the club are already working on strengthening in the summer transfer window but insists he is happy with his squad.

Arne Slot says he was so impressed by James McConnell in Liverpool ’s defeat at PSV in the Champions League that he will now not be leaving on loan. The Reds suffered their first defeat in Europe this season as they were beaten 3-2 by the Dutch club, with all five goals coming in the first-half.

Jeremie Frimpong has long been linked with a move to Anfield. Like Alexander-Arnold, he offers some of the best attacking output in Europe for his position, and the Leverkusen star is once again enjoying a strong campaign with six goal contributions in 19 Bundesliga games.

The future of Mohammed Salah hangs in the balance and a switch to the Saudi Pro League might have taken a step closer to fruition. Liverpool want to retain the services of the 32-year-old, the top scorer in the Premier League this season.
