Former Liverpool star Sander Westerveld backs up the current Liverpool prime target for Klopp’s successor, Arne Slot, the Dutch manager of the Eredivisie side Feyenoord.
Westerveld Backs The Dutchman Arne Slot For The Helm At Liverpool
Sander Westerveld, a former teammate of Arne Slot and also a Liverpool player, has revealed that Arne Slot knows fully well about Liverpool’s interest in him but nothing more than that.
Westerveld claims Arne Slot to be the perfect manager for the Merseyside club next season by mentioning the similarities in the style of play between Slot and Klopp.
He believes there is still a concern about his experience, but he still backs the Dutch manager to become a top-class tactician at Anfield.

Klopp And Dutchman Spit The Same Image On The Pitch
Many fans around Anfield are reserved about Slot’s appointment as their Klopp successor, but the interest from Spanish giants Barcelona and German giants Bayern Munich really highlights his reputation around the football world.
Liverpool face the daunting task at hand to find the right successor for Jurgen Klopp at Anfield.
Westerveld says,
“Liverpool have a lot of potential in the squad, and we don’t have the money that Manchester City have to spend, so I think he will get all the potential out of the players. He plays in the same style as Jürgen Klopp: sexy football, forward pressing and the percentage of ball recoveries in the opposition half is the highest in Holland. When he loses the ball, he wants the ball back in three seconds.”
However, Slot has so many fresh and modern football ideas which have been displayed in Eredivisie, feels former Liverpool player Sander Westerveld.

The Dutchman’s pressing style of modern football, which has been displayed at Feyenoord, seems like a good bet to become Klopp’s successor next season.
Still, people around Anfield are very concerned about his experience and doubtful that he can handle the pressure that is being inflicted by a club of Liverpool’s stature.
