Arne Slot takes over from Jurgen Klopp to lead Liverpool. During his time at Feyenoord, he won the domestic league and domestic cup, honed his skills and established himself in the Netherlands, and got the chance to take charge at Anfield.
And with the possibility of signing a player from Feyenoord who knows the style of play, Dutch defender Lutsharel Geertruida, who could ease the burden on Trent Alexander-Arnold and can also play as a centre-back, has been reported as a target.
According to De Telegraaf, Arsenal, who were in the championship race with Manchester City until the last day of the season, are also interested in the 23-year-old right-back, who is of interest to Liverpool, and have made him their top target in the transfer market this summer.
Manager Mikel Arteta is also looking to ease the burden on Ben White, adding the Rotterdam-born defender to his squad in a bid to strengthen his squad, with Julien Timber, also from Holland, secured in the summer of 2023 to further develop a solid final line.
Liverpool also have a need for a right-back to replace their defensively-challenged England defender, who could switch positions to defensive midfielder next season. Conor Bradley and Joe Gomez are also in the squad, but could be a logical reinforcement if it includes a perceived replacement for Joel Matip.
What sort of career will the 23-year-old defender, who has been touted as a step up this summer, go on to have…?
