Liverpool's incoming manager Arne Slot is already making waves in the transfer market, with reports suggesting he has set his sights on Newcastle United's prolific striker Alexander Isak. The Swedish forward has been in scintillating form this season, attracting attention from top clubs across Europe.
Meanwhile, Reds goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher faces an uncertain future at Anfield. The Irish shot-stopper, who has deputised admirably for Alisson Becker in recent seasons, may seek regular first-team football elsewhere if assurances aren't given about his role under the new regime.
Isak Emerges as Priority Target
The 24-year-old Isak has been a revelation since joining Newcastle in 2022, with his pace, technical ability and eye for goal making him one of the Premier League's most dangerous forwards. Slot reportedly sees him as the perfect addition to Liverpool's attacking options as he looks to put his stamp on the squad.
Kelleher at Career Crossroads
Kelleher's situation presents a dilemma for Liverpool. The 25-year-old has proven himself capable at the highest level but may not be content with remaining second choice. Several Premier League clubs are monitoring his situation, with a potential £20m price tag being mooted.
As Slot prepares to take the reins at Anfield, these early transfer sagas could set the tone for his tenure. The Dutch coach will need to balance refreshing the squad with maintaining continuity from the successful Jurgen Klopp era.
