Adding someone like Micky van de Ven from Tottenham could help that strength in depth move up to the next level.Micky van de Ven has previously been linked with a move to Liverpool(Image: (Photo by Catherine Ivill - AMA/Getty Images))The Dutch defender has incredible pace for a covering defender, which could help Liverpool play in a more aggressive style under Slot, while he also has captaincy and leadership experience.

At 24, there is plenty more to come from Van de Ven, and he has shown glimpses of a high-quality defender.While he hasn't always shown his best this season, if the Reds can leave him a little less exposed than Tottenham does, then he will fit in fine.Archie GrayOf all the players to step up in the Tottenham squad this season, it's perhaps the youngsters who have shown the senior players how it is done. Gray has been thrown all over the place with Tottenham, playing in almost every position imaginable during their injury crisis that has now spanned seasons.While he is a midfielder by trade, he has featured at full-back, centre-back, and No.

Add some stability into the mix with his technical quality and character, and the wonderkid will fulfil his potential.As Liverpool looks at ways of making the squad younger to evolve once again, Gray could be a potential bargain for the future.Archie Gray has impressed despite Tottenham's struggles this season(Image: (Photo by Catherine Ivill - AMA/Getty Images))Lucas BergvallContinuing the theme surrounding young players with big futures, another option that teams would be looking at is Lucas Bergvall. The midfielder has shown plenty of promise since joining Tottenham from Djurgardens, but perhaps some of it has been too much, too soon.The 20-year-old has already played 71 times for Spurs, and there is a sign of quality in there.
