Klopp speaks on Slot

Klopp has been in charge of Liverpool for eight years. It’s going to be weird when he leaves, especially for Liverpool fans.

There were always going to be questions asked about his replacement. Slot is going to be the man, it seems, and he’s come with mixed reviews, but what will be, will be.

Klopp himself broke his silence on Slot’s impending appointment in the build-up to this game.

‘I am not involved in the process, just to clarify that,’ he said. ‘(But) I like a lot about it if he is the one. He wants to take the job. Come on, let’s go for it. Excited.’

Full quotes are below.

Reds agree Slot deal

There is only one place to start today. It looks like Liverpool have got their man.

The Reds and Feyenoord have verbally agreed for Dutch manager Arne Slot to take over from Jurgen Klopp from the start of next season.

Mail Sport reported on Friday morning that the two clubs were close to finding an agreement and that deal, which could reach up to £9.42million, was brokered late in the evening.

The Dutchman will be the person to lead the new era for the Premier League side. Who knows what to expect?

Hello!

Good morning one and all and welcome to Mail Sport’s live coverage of this afternoon’s Premier League game between West Ham and Liverpool. Virgil van Dijk is gutted we are here.

The Reds are looking to salvage what is left of their season after seeing Jurgen Klopp’s farewell tour hit pretty much every bump in the road over the last month or so, and some pretty big ones at that.

West Ham are still chasing Europe.

We will kick off at 1:30.
