Arne Slot might bring five Feyenoord players to Liverpool.

Jurgen Klopp will be replaced as Liverpool manager this summer by Arne Slot.

Reds anticipate being aggressive in the trade for players

Slot might look to recognisable Feyenoord faces.

Reds supporters are ecstatic with Liverpool’s recent deal with Feyenoord to appoint Arne Slot as their new manager.

The 45-year-old’s arrival not only raises expectations for his leadership and tactical skill but also ignites rumours regarding possible player acquisitions.

Slot could suggest the following five Feyenoord players to his new side.

Mats Wieffer

Many elite clubs have taken notice of Mats Wieffer’s performances at Feyenoord this season. Liverpool is one team in particular where Wieffer’s skills could be very effectively applied.

Wieffer has stabilised and controlled Feyenoord, providing defensive leadership and assisting Slot in implementing his strategies on the pitch. He is a great asset on the field because of his ability to disturb opponents with timely interceptions and strong challenges.

The 24-year-old would fit in well with Liverpool’s press-heavy approach. His ability to win pivotal duels and intercept passes fits in perfectly with the team’s aggressive style. Furthermore, Wieffer’s skill at effectively passing the ball would give the Reds’ offensive players a strong platform on which to succeed.

Santiago Gimenez

Darwin Nunez is still a source of frustration for both Liverpool fans and those who have added him to their fantasy football teams. It’s obvious that the Reds would like to add more offensive alternatives, and Santiago Gimenez is a guy who has a good eye for goal.

Gimenez’s worth as a player and financial asset at Feyenoord has increased dramatically as a result of his absurdly high goal total in the Eredivisie this season.

The Mexican international scored 15 goals in 32 games, including the game-winning goal in a critical 3-0 victory over Go Ahead Eagles, to help Feyenoord win the Eredivisie title in 2022–2023.

Gimenez is a fascinating potential because of his goal-scoring prowess and knowledge with Slot’s tactics, even though it is unclear if he is a good fit for Liverpool.

Lutsharel Geertruida

Defender Lutsharel Geertruida is another person Arne Slot trusts. The 23-year-old has been with the team since he was a teenager and has made around 200 appearances.

Before the summer transfer window opens, Manchester United and Real Madrid are reportedly interested in signing the Dutch international, who can play both centre back and right back.

This forthcoming transfer window may be Feyenoord’s last chance to capitalise on his talent, since Geertruida’s current contract expires in 2025. Slot may advise Liverpool to jump ahead of the competition in order to sign him.

Slot has always had faith in Geertruida, and as Joel Matip is expected to leave Anfield at the end of his contract, Geertruida might be the perfect substitute.

Quinten Timber

Quinten Timber is another intriguing prospect for Liverpool because of his versatility. Arne Slot’s influence might make securing this transfer a real possibility.

This 22-year-old, who is the twin brother of Jurrien of Arsenal, had a fantastic 2022–2023 season with Feyenoord, starting 25 of 30 Eredivisie games and dishing out three goals and three assists.

Liverpool’s playing style complements Timber’s ability to recover possession, move the team ahead, and remain composed under duress.

Massive Premier League teams Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, and City are all rumoured to be watching Timber, but Slot might be hesitant to see one of Liverpool’s competitors get him.

Justin Bijlow

There’s no denying that Justin Bijlow’s presence in goal would help Liverpool.

If Bijlow were to sign with the Reds, it is quite unlikely that he would become their first-choice custodian given the presence of Alisson, a top-tier custodian with a wealth of experience playing at the highest levels of the game.

But with Caoimhin Kelleher due to leave this summer and Liverpool’s 2024–2025 campaign requiring a lot of work, Bijlow might offer useful competition and help ensure the team’s long-term goalkeeping stability.
