Liverpool 'offered chance to sign' Premier League star in shock cut-price deal that will delight Arne Slot

Liverpool have reportedly been offered a chance to sign a Premier League star.

Dutchman Arne Slot has enjoyed a fine start to life at Anfield after replacing Jurgen Klopp in the summer.

Currently, the Reds sit top of the Premier League table, two points ahead of reigning champions Manchester City.

Liverpool have also made a perfect start in the UEFA Champions League, having won all three matches so far.

Looking ahead to the transfer window, it has been claimed that Liverpool are interested in signing Wolverhampton Wanderers full-back Rayan Ait-Nouri.

As reported for Football Insider, the Wolves left-back has been on Liverpool’s wish list for a while and could sign the 23-year-old in a cut-price deal.

The report stated: “The Reds have been monitoring the left-back since Jurgen Klopp’s final season at Anfield, with the Premier League giants seeing him as a potential long-term option.

“Arne Slot is currently not fully convinced by his left-back options, with the feeling being that he wants to bring in a younger player.”

On Saturday afternoon, Liverpool had to dig deep to come from 1-0 down to beat Brighton and Hove Albion 2-1, with Mohamed Salah scoring the winner.

Speaking after the match, Slot said: “First of all, credit to Brighton the way they showed up over here. They showed a lot of composure, they were not afraid to play. They play out from the back really well. A lot of energy without the ball. And we didn’t show up at all, in every part of the game, maybe except for the set-pieces part.

“But for the rest we were not there, and if you face a very good team like Brighton it’s not enough to run once, twice or three times, you have to keep on running.”

He added: “So, we changed a bit of tactics but that had nothing to do with ball possession, that had nothing to do with us coming out stronger in the second half, it all had to do that the players showed a different attitude and different intensity.

“Therefore, I said a few things and we showed a few things, but it wasn’t that I was screaming or fuming around. It’s just making sure the players understand that this was not enough, and I think they felt it themselves as well.”
