Arne Slot believes that keeping hold of the Liverpool squad that is romping towards the Premier League title is more important than major new signings. The Reds’ could seal the title today if they win at Leicester and Arsenal lose away to Ipswich, but Slot already has one eye on the future.

“It would be strange for me to say now I am not happy with the team because I’ve said this for a year, I’m happy with the team we have,” Slot told reporters. “If we can keep the core of the team, it will already be a big summer,” he added.
