Arne Slot could build one of the strongest Liverpool starting line-ups to date if Richard Hughes can welcome some new faces to Anfield this summer.

By investing in Slot's project, Liverpool have been given a head start in the race to sign the most coveted players on the market.

Slot has recently revealed he wants to build a 'very strong' side next season, while Van Dijk has insisted he plans to compete on all fronts.
