Arne Slot feels Liverpool have shown their ambition by keeping two of their top stars

Arne Slot believes Liverpool tying down Virgil van Dijk and Mo Salah to new deals shows the ambition the club has to keep on succeeding.

Ahead of Sunday’s clash with Leicester in which Liverpool could win the Premier League title, Slot said: “It tells you that we want to keep our best players.

“The players that have played a great season for so many years in row.



A great personality and a great football player.”

Van Dijk said last week that he expects a big summer this year for Liverpool.

But Slot admits Liverpool’s summer is already underway with the signing of Salah and Van Dijk to new contracts.

He said: “I think at Liverpool there is always a big summer and it is already a big summer now.

Maybe the players don't follow everything what has been said in the media, me neither, but what I do know it was it was a big thing – 'Can we hold onto them?' - and by already holding on to two it is already a big summer.

“Let's see what the rest of the summer will bring but it would be strange for me to say now I am not happy with the team we are having because I've said this for a year, we are happy with the team we are having.

Maybe if we can keep that team it will already be a big summer.
