Arne Slot, Liverpool's new Premier League manager, expressed contentment with the squad he inherited from Juergen Klopp. Despite setbacks in signing key players like Martin Zubimendi, Slot emphasized his satisfaction with pre-season performances. He aims to build on last season's successes under Klopp and maintain the team's strong playing style.

Arne Slot, the new manager for Liverpool's Premier League campaign, admitted on Friday that he was unable to secure all his desired signings ahead of his debut game. However, he expressed confidence in the strength of the squad left by Juergen Klopp.

Despite efforts to bring in Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi, the player chose not to join Liverpool. Slot highlighted his satisfaction with the team's existing talent, particularly praising Wataru Endo for his pre-season performance. As Liverpool prepares to face newly-promoted Ipswich Town, Slot maintains a positive outlook.

Slot revealed he quickly implemented his playing style, thanks to the solid foundation left by Klopp, whose leadership saw Liverpool win their tenth League Cup last season. He stressed that maintaining and slightly adjusting the existing strategies would hopefully lead to another trophy-winning season.
