Arne Slot has been told to “replace” Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk when he takes over at Liverpool at the end of the season.
Slot will have his work cut out to be anywhere near as successful at Anfield as Klopp with the former Borussia Dortmund manager overseeing nine years of progress. And former Netherlands international Rene van der Gijp reckons Slot should make it one of his first jobs to move on Liverpool captain Van Dijk and top goalscorer Salah.“I think Slot would do best to slowly replace guys like Salah and Van Dijk,” Van der Gijp told“I read that Dortmund would be interested in Van Dijk, instead of Hummels. Then you play in a slightly easier competition.
Salah has scored just two goals in his last eight matches in all competitions but former Manchester United defender Gary Neville insists it is “too quick to say this is the end of Mo Salah”.“There is a player out here called Son that I think hit a brick wall about 18 months ago, was it, or so where he looked like he was gone, he was struggling.“These players play so much football, they play so consistently. Salah has been almost ever-present for, like, six, seven years, it feels like.
