Winning the league will attract players says Slot

Liverpool manager Arne Slot says winning the Premier League will help him attract new signings to Anfield this summer.

The Reds secured the title last weekend with a thumping 5-1 win over Tottenham and Slot said the celebrations will have been a powerful message for prospective targets.

“The main advantage of winning the league is, until now if I spoke to players I wanted to bring in I always told them our fans are really special and it’s special to play at this club,” he said.

“That was maybe not even necessary to tell them in the past but after Sunday I don’t think I ever have to tell anyone again how special our fans are because that was unbelievable.

“Winning the league, having these fans, this is a big attraction to every player we want to bring in.”

“Now you know how special of a club it is.” ❤️

Slot is able to rotate his squad after winning the league with four matches to go with the likes of Harvey Elliott, Federico Chiesa and Wataru Endo hoping to feature against Chelsea.

“It is the end of the season but we also have to look at this as the start of next season already,” Slot said.

“Some of them deserve to play already because they have trained so well, they are good enough to play for this club, but I mainly chose the same players.

“But it is not now that all the ones who played all the games are not going to play and the other ones are going to play.

“We will mix it up but it’s not going to be four games with the same line-up as we had against Tottenham.”

Elliott, who has yet to start a league match this season, has stressed his determination to fight for his future.

“First of all it is very important that players who are here with us like to stay, that’s a big compliment to everyone working here,” said Slot.

“Harvey was injured for a long time and I’ve been honest with him, the first part when he came back from his injury he was not the same as he was before the injury – but in the last few months he is back to his old level.

“I don’t think they have anything to prove to me because I see them every single day in training and I’ve seen them playing in the past.

“I think they want to prove for themselves they are good enough to play for us. I already know they are and they probably themselves know this as well.”
