Everton’s former chief Keith Wyness has claimed Arne Slot could sign four new players in his first summer window at Liverpool.
Speaking on the new edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, the well-connected 66-year-old – who served as CEO at Goodison Park between 2004 and 2009 and now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs – claimed a striker and long-term replacement for Virgil van Dijk will be high on the agenda, while four players could also depart Anfield.
Slot has started work at Liverpool after succeeding former boss Jurgen Klopp, who left the club at the end of the 2023-24 campaign.
The Dutchman arrives on Merseyside highly rated after winning the Eredivisie and KNVB Cup with Feyenoord in back-to-back seasons.
He has signed a three-year contract with Liverpool and will lead the club into battle in the Champions League next season.
Liverpool could make four summer signings with Slot set to axe four stars, says Wyness
Wyness claimed a new goalkeeper and midfielder may also be on the agenda for Slot and his transfer team.
He told Football Insider‘s Insider Track podcast: “For me, it’s a bit early.
“I need to see Slot in place longer to see what he wants from the squad, and hear from my sources about the areas they’re going to lose players in as well.
“He’s going to be concerned about the area up front and the scoring ability after the end of last season.
“The youth in midfield is something he may worry about.
“He’ll also want to try and bring in Virgil van DIjk’s replacement at the back, as well as add a new goalkeeper.
“It’s too early to say for sure, but a manager often gets a feel for the squad before coming in. He’ll have done a lot of work, and he’ll have looked at the data before coming in.
“We haven’t seen any signs, but I think Slot will have his own views.
“I don’t think he’ll destabilise too much, but there could be three or four in and three or four heading out.”
