Salah’s new look, Slot arrives and Saudi transfer interest – Latest LFC News

Friday’s Liverpool FC news saw Arne Slot explore after landing on Merseyside, while Mo Salah revealed a bold new look after taking the clippers to his curls.

Arne Slot arrives on Merseyside

After being confirmed as Liverpool’s next head coach earlier in the week, Slot has arrived on Merseyside as he looks to settle into his new surroundings.

That included a trip to the Moor Hall Restaurant in Aughton, while the Dutchman is also said to have been spotted leaving Anfield by some supporters.

It would suggest that the club could officially unveil Slot as Jurgen Klopp‘s successor in the near future, with the 45-year-old likely to conduct an in-house interview as his first since taking over.

Slot is not due to formally begin work at Liverpool until June 1, and therefore his unveiling may wait until next week at the earliest.

But he is clearly eager to get started in his new position, which should be a big positive.
