Arne Slot, the new Liverpool manager, expressed contentment with the squad left by Jurgen Klopp despite not securing any new signings ahead of his first Premier League match. Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi decided against joining Liverpool, a setback Slot acknowledged while noting the difficulty of finding players who would enhance the team. He emphasized the strength of the existing squad, citing positive pre-season performances from players like Wataru Endo. Slot is focused on building upon the foundations laid by Klopp and aims to continue the team's success, which included winning the League Cup last season. He also highlighted the competitive nature of the Premier League and expressed confidence in his players facing newly-promoted Ipswich Town. The manager remains optimistic that the club's sporting director may still make a signing before the transfer window closes.
