Breaking News: Virgil van Dijk and Jürgen Klopp in agreement on Arne Slot becoming………

Liverpool successfully kept Arne Slot’s name under wraps for quite some time. It wasn’t so much that he was considered an outsider, but rather hardly considered at all, as the public speculated who might replace Jürgen Klopp in the hotseat.

But once the name was out there, things accelerated at a rate of knots. In almost no time at all, Slot himself was confirming the veracity of the links, declaring that he was keen to join Liverpool and confident an agreement would be reached.

In turn, members of the existing Liverpool setup have been asked to comment on Slot. Speaking ahead of tomorrow’s game with West Ham, outgoing manager Klopp gave his backing to his likely successor.
