Liverpool sporting Director Michael Edwards has said that Arne Slot has found enough talent in the current Liverpool squad.
Why have Liverpool taken this decision?
Last season, Liverpool finished in third position of English Premier League and Jurgen Klopp decided to leave them. His squad was filled with talented players like Mohammed Salah, Virgil Van Dijk, Trent Alexander Arnold, Andrew Robertson, Alisson Becker, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino, and many more.
The German coach built a gem of a team at the heart of Anfield. Big teams like Manchester City always feared to face Klopp’s Liverpool. The reds used to play with full aggression. While Jurgen Klopp helped Liverpool to win Champions League, English Premier League, FA cup and other major trophies.
In other words, Jurgen Klopp handed over a readymade squad to Arne Slot because there is already a lot of talent in the entire squad. The German gave perfect roles to each player.

Future of Liverpool
There are few things that Arne Slot need to do at Liverpool. His first and foremost criteria will be to improve the defensive ability of Trent Alexander Arnold. Secondly, they have some rising talents in their squad. They need proper training and guidance. These things will certainly improve their overall performance.
The midfield of Liverpool can score more goals from the combination of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Sbozobolai. That is why Arne Slot has to unlock this midfield partnership.
Last season Darwin Nunez struggled to score goals in Premier League. The new manager must look into this matter.
When reporters asked the new Arne Slot about the team, he said that the players are very energetic and they are well trained in all aspects such as pressing, counter pressing, and all the other things. Previously Jurgen Klopp praised about the lads to the new Liverpool manager.
Jurgen Klopp has trained every player with a lot of care and precision. Young players like Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliot, Kelleher are the true revelations under his era at the Anfield. Arne Slot has got a group of talented players. All he needs to do is to utilize all the players in correct positions.
Arne Slot’s Goalkeeping coach was busy due to the Copa America. He went to the tournament with his team USA. Although USA got knocked out of the tournament, but they played well both defensively and offensively.
As the Copa America ended, he has joined the Liverpool pre-season training. Arne Slot told him to take rest for few days, but he is excited to join the Premier League giants. That is why he didn’t take any rest and joined the training session.
There is no doubt his abilities as a goalkeeper coach. Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson, Kelleher will certainly improve under him.
