Liverpool are one of the top clubs in England. They have recently been moved to new management regarding the coaching staff. Their prior coach, Jurgen Klopp, recently left the club after nine successful years. Arnie Slot has recently replaced him. Since his arrival, he has been moving around in the transfer market, trying to find the best players to join his side at Anfield. The Liverpool frontline mainly consists of players like Muhammad Salah, Cody Gapko, and Darvin Nunez. Slot is now looking to add Leeds winger Crysencio Summerville.
The Dutch footballer currently plays for Leeds United. He even bagged 20 goals and assisted nine goals during his 46 games in the championship. Despite the youngster’s amazing efforts, his team failed to qualify by six points. They finished third in the championship, just behind Ipswich Town. Many big clubs believe that a player of his calibre should transfer to the Premier League. The winger has been linked with claps like Chelsea and even Paris Saint-German. He has also received offers from clubs like Fulham and potentially even Barcelona.
His addition to the club will help Liverpool boost their standings. Finishing third in the league last season affected them. They wanted to win the treble and give their managers a fairy tale goodbye. However, the attack failed to deliver on multiple occasions. This has definitely got the new manager thinking about alternatives. The Dutch winger is potentially a good option to bring off the bench in case the starters don’t perform.
The new manager is yet to complete his first signing of the season. Bagging such a young player with such amazing talent will definitely boost his morale. The Liverpool board has also backed the manager in making decisions for the future of the club. Having a youth player of such a level will be an addition for years to come.
