In the final press conferences of Liverpool’s historic season where they became champions of England for a 20th time, the Dutchman told fans to expect a ‘big summer’ and then said the Reds will not stand still but look to find some ‘new weapons’.
Two months, seven signings and £295million later, Slot has not just welcomed a couple of weapons – but a whole new regiment armed with heavy artillery ready to shoot down all that stands in their line of sight. And they may not be done yet.
This is the story of how Liverpool are preparing to turn 20 into 21 at the first time of asking - and how they are bullying their rivals into submission.
