Liverpool chasing agreement for Arne Slot favourite

Liverpool chasing agreement for Arne Slot favourite

Liverpool have been very active in the transfer market over the last 12 months.

Last summer saw the Reds spend over £400 million as seven new players arrived at Anfield, and a deal to bring Jeremy Jacquet to Merseyside this summer was announced in February.

As the transition continues between the team built by Jurgen Klopp and the team being shaped by Michael Edwards, Richard Hughes and Arne Slot, Liverpool are expected to be busy once again this summer.

Jacquet wasn’t the only player that caught the Reds’ attention in the winter window, with a number of deals being explored to try and strengthen Slot’s side.

The deal that appeared closest to completion was one for Lutsharel Geertruida, and the Dutchman could still end up at Liverpool.

Geertruida was seen to be an ideal option for Liverpool as they suffered an injury crisis this winter.

The Dutchman is capable of playing both as a right-back and as a central defender, and was backed to ‘excel’ under Slot if he did make the move.

Unfortunately for Liverpool a deal was never finalised, in part due to the defender already being on loan at Sunderland, but the Reds may have another chance to secure their man.
