Yet despite the considerable expenditure, the Reds endured a season to forget, with their Premier League title defense falling short and the campaign ending without silverware, heaping pressure on Arne Slot.When asked his views on the forthcoming summer transfer window, Cole responded: "I just think they need a quiet summer."They bought Ekitike, I know he's going to be out for a while, Isak they need to get a tune out of him, Wirtz will have another year settled, they need to work out the balance of the midfield and they need to get the right back position sorted."But Arne Slot just needs time to settle, let him go.

And, I think they will stick with him."Liverpool manager Arne Slot (right) speaks with sporting director Richard Hughes after winning the Premier League title(Image: Kieran McManus/REX/Shutterstock)Cole made his own unexpected comeback to the pitch to feature for Warley FC, Specsavers' Best Worst Team, finding the net as he steered the team to a 3-1 triumph."I loved it," he said.
