How Slot’s Arrival At Liverpool Could Transform This 22-Year-Old Defender Into The Next Van Dijk!
Under Arne Slot, Liverpool may promote diverse talents like van den Berg, Carvalho, Morton, Chambers, and Jaros to the first team.
It seems that Arne Slot is set to be the next manager of Liverpool after Klopp’s imminent farewell. Naturally, a wave of change will sweep through the squad.
The Dutch manager’s arrival will be a fresh start which will offer opportunities for players who previously found themselves on the fringes under Jurgen Klopp’s reign.
Van den Berg- Time For Promotion!
One such player who may finally make his debut in the first team is Sepp van den Berg. The 22-year-old defender is dubbed as the next Virgil van Dijk.
After impressive performance during loan spells he most notably caught the eye in the Bundesliga with Mainz.
Van den Berg’s Dutch connection with Slot and Liverpool’s shortage of options in the centre back department may position him as a prime candidate for promotion.
Alongside van den Berg, Fabio Carvalho and Tyler Morton stand out as potential first-team contenders. Both players have excelled during their loan spells.
Carvalho has creativity as a number ten and Morton proved his skill as a deep-lying midfielder. They align well with Slot’s preferred style.
Luke Chambers has shown significant progress during his loan stint at Wigan Athletic. He is another candidate for elevation to the first team.
With possible departures in the squad his versatility and standout performance make him a valuable asset for Liverpool.
Last but not the least, Vitezslav Jaros is another name to the list. He is currently at Strum Graz in Austria. The talented goalkeeper is an important option if Caoimhin Kelleher decides to leave Liverpool in the summer transfer window.
Strategy Changed?
Liverpool’s loan strategy is now changing as several players who flourished away from Anfield are now set to make their mark at Anfield.
The influx of new faces will show a broader trend of inclusivity and diversity within the squad. As players from different background and different playing style will be given opportunities.
This approach is a shift from the past where, loan spells often tended to uncertain futures. Now success on loan spell may lead to real chances within the first team. As of now, fans are eagerly waiting for the new era under Arne Slot.
