Arne Slot tipped to win Premier League with Liverpool NEXT YEAR as Dutch legend hints at boss' first transfers | D0REE0T | 2024-04-30 02:08:01
ARNE SLOT has been backed to lead Liverpool to their 20th league title NEXT season.
Feyenoord manager Slot is set to replace departing Kop boss Jurgen Klopp in the summer.
And Dutch World Cup legend Johnny Rep told SunSport: "Arne has what it takes to fill Klopp's big boots and it's possible he'll win the Premier League in his first year.
"Arne has done great things at Feyenoord, winning both the league and the cup, and I can't wait to see him do the same in Liverpool.
"He has all the credentials to manage a club as big as Liverpool because he's simply an excellent coach."
The Reds have agreed a £9million-plus compensation deal with Feyenoord for Slot, 45, ahead of finalising a personal Anfield contract with him.
Klopp, 56, announced in January he was quitting at the end of this season after nine years.
During that time, the German has won the Champions League, Premier League, Fifa Club World Cup, Uefa Super Cup, the FA Cup and two League Cups.

But Rep, 72, one of the Netherlands' greats who lifted two European Cups with Ajax and played in both the 1974 and 1978 World Cup finals, insists that Slot can bring "Total Football" to Anfield.

Ex-winger Rep, who is Holland's all-time record scorer at World Cups with seven goals, added: "Arne was influenced by Johan Cruyff's Total Football and loves to set his teams up on the front foot.
"But even though the offensive side of his game is the one that stands out, his teams are defensively adept, too.

Lutsharel Geertruida has already hinted he could become Slot's first Liverpool signing.
Geertruida, 23, posted a picture from the Reds 2-2 draw with West Ham on his social media.
