Arne Slot says Liverpool defender Amara Nallo must learn from his “cruel” red card in Wednesday’s 3-2 defeat to PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League. The academy graduate’s first-team debut lasted just four minutes at Philips Stadion as he was sent off late in the second half for a professional foul on Johan Bakayoko.

Arne Slot has shed light on Liverpool's summer plans as he looks to bolster the squad he inherited from club legend Jurgen Klopp after a quiet first two transfe

Arne Slot is set to make a U-turn on transfer plans after Liverpool's defeat against PSV Eindhoven in the UEFA Champions League. The Reds headed to the Netherlands knowing that a top-two finish in the first phase of this season's Champions League was already secured.

Liverpool fell to PSV on the final day of the Champions League league phase with a number of key starters absent from the matchday squad.

"I know people sometimes question this because they haven't seen us doing a lot in the transfer market in the summer and now in the winter as well. There's a reason for that - because we're happy with the squad. "But I do know we're definitely working on strengthening in the summer."

Arne Slot returns to familiar ground on Wednesday having already established himself as one of the best Dutch exports since Heineken.

The Hungarian's outstanding goal on Saturday made a few more onlookers sit up and take notice of his performances in Slot's system this season.

According to FotMob, no player at the Philips Stadion contested (18) or won (11) more duels than the Italy international, who also won the joint-most fouls (four) and came away with more touches (48) than fellow forwards Danns (25) and Cody Gakpo (21) combined.

It is only if they reach the semi-finals that the six-time European champions could face some of the pre-tournament favourites, with Inter Milan, Bayern Munich and Manchester City among the sides who could be lying in wait.

One player who has been reported to be of big interest to Slot in particular is PSG’s Xavi Simons, on-loan at RB Leipzig. However, with Arne moving in the background, Jurgen Klopp may have just thrown a spanner in the works.
