Latest news:
Liverpool could be in for a busy summer, though Arne Slot has reiterated his stance that he is content with the roster of players that he currently has. Improvements, however, can be made.
“It’s already a big summer because we extended Virgil [van Dijk] and Mo [Salah] and for large parts of the season, I don’t think everyone expected that,” Slot told Sky Sports after his side had lost 3-1 against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
It would appear logical for Liverpool to look at left-back as one position to upgrade on, with Andy Robertson’s level having dropped in recent months. Number nine would be another obvious place to hope for an improvement.
Ian Wright and Michael Owen think Slot may look to Bournemouth to recruit some of their star players.
“That’s a talented team,” Owen said about Bournemouth while working for Premier League Productions over the weekend. “They’ve got some really talented players in the squad.
“As I just referred to before, they might just have a really difficult summer trying to shield a lot of their players away from the pack, really.
“Liverpool might come in for Milos Kerkez. You’ve got Antoine Semenyo, who’s a top player. Arsenal are looking for their center-half as well, maybe, Wrighty?”
“Yeah, Dean Huijsen, he’s really impressive,” Ian Wright replied.
“I think Kerkez, that’s probably done, for me. The amount of talk we’ve been doing for so long, that’s probably done, which is a shame (for Bournemouth). He’s a fantastic player.”
Kerkez is someone that Liverpool is considering. Bournemouth accepts that the Hungarian is likely to move on this summer, though he doesn’t have a release clause like Huijsen.
Valued at around £45 million, Kerkez has been one of the most impressive full-backs in the Premier League this season. And at 21, his best years are still very much ahead of him.

Liverpool XI
Manager: Arne Slot
Arne Slot took up the position of Liverpool FC head coach on June 1, 2024, having agreed a deal with the club after the end of 2023-24.
The Dutchman joined the Reds from Eredivisie side Feyenoord ahead of the new season, replacing Jürgen Klopp at the helm following his decision to step down following nine years in charge.
Slot arrived at Anfield after three highly successful campaigns with Feyenoord, during which he led them to the league title in 2023 and was named Eredivisie Manager of the Year on two occasions.
He also helped the Rotterdam club to victory in the KNVB Cup in April 2024 after they defeated NEC Nijmegen 1-0 in the final.
Prior to moving to Feyenoord, Slot held the position of AZ Alkmaar head coach, and he had led them to second place in the table, trailing leaders Ajax only on goal difference, when the Dutch season was cancelled due to COVID-19 in 2019-20.
During his playing career, he operated primarily as a midfielder, turning out for FC Zwolle, NAC Breda, Sparta Rotterdam and PEC Zwolle before hanging up his boots in 2013.
Slot is the first head coach of Liverpool FC from the Netherlands.
