Arne Slot gives 'UNBELIEVABLE' backing to major Liverpool transfer target

Arne Slot has publicly praised one of Liverpool's major transfer targets. He's clearly a massive fan.

Liverpool are planning a major overhaul of their attack this summer, Anfield Watch understands. It's quite the undertaking but a very necessary one.

The two legs against Paris Saint-Germain showed real weaknesses in the attack. Neither Diogo Jota nor Darwin Nunez looked capable of leading the line in a game like that against a team that strong.

Luis Diaz struggled to make any sort of impact, too - and the Colombian has blown hot and cold all season. Federico Chiesa didn't even appear to be an option as far as Arne Slot was concerned.

Then there's the Mo Salah situation.

He has carried the attack this season along with Cody Gakpo. He's also out of contract in the summer and can leave for free. As things stand, he'll do just that.

So as you can see, Liverpool have some work to do. They need to reassess their forward line and will do just that in the summer.

And it seems Slot is a massive fan of one target.

Arne Slot on Alexander Isak

Liverpool want to sign Alexander Isak this summer by all accounts. The striker could leave Newcastle United and while he'd cost a fortune, the Swede is arguably the best forward in the Premier League right now.

The Reds could build their new attack around him, almost justifying the gigantic fee on its own. And what's more, Slot is clearly a huge fan.

Speaking ahead of the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle, Slot talked up Isak as an incredible player.

"Now, looking at Newcastle, we played them twice," said Slot. "In the last game, Isak wasn’t involved, in the first game he was involved.

"He is such an important player for them, he’s an unbelievable threat and has the speed that, for example, the attackers of Paris Saint-Germain had on Tuesday."

'Unbelievable' is right. Isak is the kind of forward who can offer multiple threats all on his own. Slot's a fan, Liverpool's recruitment teams are fans - and this one feels like it's moving closer and closer.
