Liverpool Backroom Staff Expands Under Arne Slot

Liverpool and Arsenal are reportedly interested in West Ham winger Mohamed Kudus, whose £85m release clause will become active next summer. Kudus, who is keen on a move that could provide Champions League football, has impressed since joining West Ham, making them reluctant to sell cheaply. Meanwhile, Cody Gakpo has expressed his satisfaction with life under new Liverpool manager Arne Slot, indicating that he feels at home despite the challenges of adapting to a central role. Liverpool is set to welcome video analyst Roderick van der Ham, a former colleague of Slot's from Feyenoord, enhancing their coaching staff. Additionally, Wataru Endo, who has struggled for game time this season, may be offloaded in January as Liverpool looks to bolster their squad. With Liverpool currently leading the Premier League, Slot's management has drawn significant praise, raising expectations for the season ahead.
