Following the Ipswich victory, Arne Slot declares firmly Liverpool transfer

After a dismal first half, Arne Slot’s squad came out on top in his debut game as manager of Liverpool. The Reds manager is still being questioned about the club’s transfer ambitions.

After Liverpool defeated Ipswich Town in the season opener, Arne Slot passed his first test as head coach. However, he is aware that he will continue to deal with enquiries about the club’s transfer activities until a decision is reached.

The Reds, who were linked to Giorgi Mamardashvili, Anthony Gordon, and Martin Zubimendi over the summer, are the only team in the Premier League without a player.

With fewer than two weeks remaining in the window, Slot is maintaining composed despite being frustrated not to have signed Zubimendi in particular, who had verbally agreed on a move before U-turning to stay with his local team.

After the victory, Slot spoke with TNT Sports and stated: “A lot has been said about our (lack of) signings. We have many good players.” We will not hesitate to locate another one if we can. However, we already have a large number.”

Many would have been concerned after Liverpool’s poor first-half performance, as supporters took to social media to blame the team’s lack of additions.

However, in a two-hour match, the Reds came on strong, scoring goals from Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah to calm the crowd while Luis Diaz had several opportunities to score.

The majority of Liverpool supporters feel that the team’s greatest need is in defensive midfield, which would have been filled with the addition of Zubimendi. Ryan Gravenberch, who was used in that role and performed well, may be considered the team’s first choice this season over players like Wataru Endo and Stefan Bajcetic.

Although Slot has not ruled out making any more recruits, Mamardashvili, the custodian for Valencia, is said to be the most likely to sign on. He may be loaned out for a number of seasons while Alisson Becker wears the number one jersey.

It’s interesting that Slot decided not to include Joe Gomez in the starting lineup for the first game of the season, despite reports that Newcastle and Chelsea are interested in signing him.

Goncalo Inacio of Sporting has been continuously connected to the Reds front office in recent weeks, so if they decide to part ways with Gomez, they will undoubtedly bring in a replacement.

According to Liverpool.com, “Liverpool just needs squad additions if they want to compete in the Premier League against teams like Manchester City and Arsenal and against the other heavyweights in the Champions League.”

“A central defensive midfielder is clearly their biggest area of need, with signings at centre-back and another attacker bringing an air of excitement among the team for the long season ahead.”
