New Liverpool coach Arne Slot has made the decision to fully assess his squad during the Reds’ upcoming pre-season tour of the United States before bringing new players to Anfield ahead of the 2024/25 season.

However, patience will be needed in all areas of the club this season, as it is a period of transition following the long successful reign of Jurgen Klopp.
