In Liverpool FC news on Friday, Arne Slott explored after landing on Merseyside, while Mo Salah revealed a bold new look after chopping off his curls.
Arne Slott is coming to Merseyside
After being confirmed as Liverpool’s next manager earlier this week, Slott has arrived on Merseyside as he looks to settle into his new surroundings.
This included a trip to the Moor Hall restaurant in Aughton, while the Dutchman was also reportedly spotted by some supporters leaving Anfield.
That would suggest the club could officially unveil Slott as Jurgen Klopp’s successor in the near future, with the 45-year-old likely to hold an internal interview as his first since taking over.
The slot is due to officially open in Liverpool by June 1st, so its unveiling could wait until next week at the earliest.
But he is clearly eager to get started in his new position, which should be a big positive.
