Mamardashvili, seen as one of the world’s best young stoppers, signed for Liverpool last summer and is expected to challenge Alisson for the No.

Writing on social media after the Valladolid win, the 24-year-old said: “I know I'm not in my best moment now, but I'm convinced that challenges make us stronger.



I'm putting in my best effort to be the best version of me as soon as possible.

“Thank you very much, Mestalla, for the support

I know I'm not in the best shape right now, but I'm sure that difficulties will make me stronger

Putting in all my effort to get back to the best shape I can.”

Slot was asked about Mamardashvili in Friday’s press conference and hinted that the new arrival will have a tough job forcing his way into the Liverpool team when he eventually arrives.

“He is at Valencia and they are in just as important a phase of the season as we are in, so it wouldn’t be smart for me to talk about a player that maybe belongs to us but is in such an important part of the season at Valencia,” the Liverpool boss said on Friday.

“But in general I can say if you want to play for Liverpool, you have to accept that there is competition

That is not only Liverpool but that is in every Premier League club at the moment because of all the money that is in this league but in Liverpool if you don’t want to face competition then it is not the best place to go to.”
