Liverpool fans have noticed one of their apparent transfer targets’ social media activity after Arne Slot’s arrival was reported.
After weeks of speculation, it was reported this week that Liverpool have sounded out Feyenoord boss Slot as the leading candidate to replace Klopp in the summer.
On Thursday night, Slot revealed ahead of Feyenoord’s 3-1 win over Go Ahead Eagles that he would like to join Liverpool.
By Friday night, it was reported that Liverpool and Feyenoord had reached an agreement for Slot to become the new manager.

On the back of the news, Liverpool fans were quick to spot Willian Pacho’s social media activity, after he was linked with a move to the club.
According to Sky Sports Italy reporter Gianluca Di Marzio, the Premier League giants have a 'strong interest' in Eintracht Frankfurt centre-back Pacho.
Other reports claim that Liverpool have already opened discussions with the Eintracht and the player's agent, but that the Bundesliga side could demand a fee of €65 million.
After the news of Slot’s arrival was revealed by transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano on social media, it was speculated that Pacho liked the post.

However, it was later revealed that he unliked the post.
Speaking on Thursday, Slot said: “Everybody understands Feyenoord will want to receive as much money as they can get, but I get the feeling that they will not begrudge me this move.

“I expect that things will become clearer over the next few days.”
Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher said: “From Feyenoord to Liverpool is a huge jump and I think it shows at this moment that there's probably a dearth of real top managers out there, when you look at who Liverpool are going for.
“Initially it was Xabi Alonso - it's only his first full season as a manager - then there was talk of Ruben Amorim from Sporting, who's only 39. Now Arne Slot is the favourite.”
