Coach Arne Slot cleverly dodged when asked about Liverpool interested in striker Alexander Isak of Newcastle United. However, he asserted that The Kop will continue to monitor the transfer market to find suitable players.
Arne Slot avoid talking about the goal of Alexander Isak
Last week, Liverpool sent £ 110 million to Alexander Isak but was bluntly rejected by Newcastle. Liverpool has not given up the intention, but Newcastle must clearly show goodwill to cede the main striker, The Kop can consider raising the price.
After Luis Diaz broke up with Anfield to join Bayern Munich and Darwin Nunez preparing to move to Al-Hilal in Saudi Pro League, Liverpool is aggressively supplementing personnel in attack. However, any rookie must be really quality, enough to kick and have a reasonable value in the market.

When asked about this, Arne Slot shared: “Like many other coaches, I never talk about players who don't belong to me. I can talk about Hugo Ekitike, we have just signed a contract and he has shown well until now.”
Slot shows satisfaction with the current squad: “We are very happy with the existing force, especially when just crowned the Premier League last season. It is true that there are a few players away but we have also brought new faces and young talents.
This captain emphasized that Liverpool owns a variety of powerful attack options: “Cody Gakpo, Federico Chiesa, Hugo Ekitike, Mohamed Salah, Jeremie Frimpong kicked the right wing, Florian Wirtz kicked the left wing … I saw my squad was very diverse in attack.
But as usual, the club still closely monitored all opportunities in the market, not only in attack but also in the middle and the defense. ”
This weekend, Liverpool will go to Wembley to face Crystal Palace in the English Super Cup match. Arne Slot acknowledged that the opponent was formidable and his team had to play in the highest form if he wanted to start the season with the title.
“It is great to start the season with the opportunity to win the title. Usually there are many matches to be able to touch the trophy, but now we have the opportunity from the beginning.
However, Crystal Palace is a very uncomfortable collective with sharp counterattack, fixed situations, long balls for Mateta and personal quality in attack. Palace retains the frame, they will be ready to explode. This is a great challenge for us to enter the season. ”
