Arsenal star who played under Arne Slot tells Liverpool what to expect when he becomes their new manager
A player from Arsenal who has experience under Arne Slot has shared insights on what Liverpool can expect if he becomes their new manager.
With Jurgen Klopp announcing his departure from Liverpool, speculation has surrounded potential replacements, with Feyenoord’s Arne Slot emerging as a top candidate.
Talks between Liverpool and Slot have reportedly begun, with a potential compensation fee of £9 million involved.
Slot, known for his aggressive playing style and success with Feyenoord, has a track record of developing young talents, including Arsenal winger Reiss Nelson.
During the 2020/21 season, Reiss Nelson played under Arne Slot at Feyenoord, featuring in 32 matches as they reached the Europa Conference League final.
Nelson expressed admiration for Slot, highlighting the positive impact the manager had on his game. He praised Slot for providing him with ample playing opportunities and helping him excel on the field.
Despite facing challenges such as being away from family and dealing with the COVID-19 situation, Nelson found his experience with Slot to be highly rewarding, particularly in terms of football development.
Slot’s coaching prowess has attracted interest from Premier League clubs in the past, including Leeds, Chelsea, and Tottenham.
Despite signing a two-year contract extension with Feyenoord in May, Arne Slot has hinted that his next managerial venture will likely take him to England.
Expressing his desire to progress beyond Dutch football, Slot emphasized the Premier League as the ultimate destination for his next challenge.
While Slot remains a strong contender for the Liverpool managerial position, other candidates such as Sporting CP’s Ruben Amorim and Roberto De Zerbi are also reportedly under consideration.
