Arne Slot is set to be a busy man at Liverpool this summer.
The Dutch coach’s first season at Anfield has gone beyond expectations as the Reds are on the verge of winning a 20th Premier League title.
What makes this even more impressive is that Slot only saw Federico Chiesa added to his Liverpool squad ahead of the current campaign.
This has allowed the former Feyenoord boss to fully assess his squad ahead of the 2025/26 campaign and with money to spend this summer, the Liverpool boss should know exactly what he needs to keep the Reds at the top of the Premier League.

Jurgen Klopp departed Liverpool at the end of the 2023/24 campaign and the German left an impressive squad behind him.
It is common for most new coaches to arrive at a new club and bring their own players with them, but that was not the agreement Slot struck up with sporting director Richard Hughes last summer.
This summer has become a key one for Slot and Liverpool as the last week has shown that the Premier League leaders need to strengthen some key areas.
Slot’s squad have averaged the most game time in all competitions of any Premier League team this season and that looks to be taking its toll.
