Liverpool have made a major move in the transfer market, securing a Premier League sensation personally chosen by new manager Arne Slot. As the Dutch tactician begins to reshape the squad in his image, this signing is seen as a key step in establishing his footballing philosophy at Anfield.
Arne Slot won the Premier League in his first season as Liverpool manager with little to no help from the club in last summer’s transfer and the winter windows.
The Liverpool manager wants a squad in his own image ahead of next season, and the club have already agreed to break their transfer record to sign Florian Wirtz for an upfront fee of £100m, and another £16m in add-ons.
The Merseyside giants are also closing in on a third signing of the summer, and are almost guaranteed to add a Premier League sensation to their squad this summer.

Liverpool are almost certain to sign the defender wanted by Arne Slot
The Milos Kerkez negotiations have dragged on despite Richard Hughes identifying him as their top target months back.
Slot has also approved his signing, and the club already have a verbal agreement in place with the player, who is eager to move to Anfield.
Bournemouth have been insisting on getting £45m from his departure, but according to Fabrizio Romano on GiveMeSport, the deal is certain to go through.
Liverpool are absolutely certain they will sign the defender, but are in no hurry to conclude the deal at the moment.
Kerkez is on holiday, and the club are aware that they can afford to wait to finalise the negotiations with Bournemouth for the Hungarian left-back.
With Andy Robertson open to joining Atletico Madrid, Kerkez will become the first-choice left-back at Liverpool next season.
