Speaking on TNT Sports, the former Liverpool striker lauded Cody Gakpo and the winger’s development this season under Slot, with the former PSV man on course to enjoy his best season yet since leaving the Dutch side for Anfield over two years ago.

"I know people sometimes question this because they haven't seen us doing a lot in the transfer market in the summer and now in the winter as well. There's a reason for that - because we're happy with the squad. "But I do know we're definitely working on strengthening in the summer."

Arne Slot says Liverpool defender Amara Nallo must learn from his “cruel” red card in Wednesday’s 3-2 defeat to PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League. The academy graduate’s first-team debut lasted just four minutes at Philips Stadion as he was sent off late in the second half for a professional foul on Johan Bakayoko.

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has said the club are already working on strengthening in the summer transfer window but insists he is happy with his squad.

Manager Arne Slot opted to heavily rotate his squad on the final day, content to play out the final game with a mix of youngsters, squad players and stars sprinkled in. Designed to give important players like Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah a rest, Liverpool were in front twice this game. Cody Gakpo, in his return to Eindhoven, scored the opener.

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot admits he has broken with his usual preparation methods by planning for two matches at the same time after naming a weakened squad against PSV Eindhoven.

Liverpool supporters will have learned a lot about their team during Wednesday’s 3-2 loss against PSV Eindhoven. It was always going to be an interesting night for the Reds, with plenty of rarely-seen faces making the trip to the Netherlands.

According to FotMob, no player at the Philips Stadion contested (18) or won (11) more duels than the Italy international, who also won the joint-most fouls (four) and came away with more touches (48) than fellow forwards Danns (25) and Cody Gakpo (21) combined.

It is only if they reach the semi-finals that the six-time European champions could face some of the pre-tournament favourites, with Inter Milan, Bayern Munich and Manchester City among the sides who could be lying in wait.
