The Liverpool manager, Jürgen Klopp, has praised his potential replacement, Arne Slot, as the Dutchman closes on a move to the Premier League. Slot has emerged as the frontrunner for the job with his track record of improving young talent, success on a relatively modest budget, European experience and a style of play that is not a dramatic departure from Klopp’s, all appealing to Anfield’s recruitment team. Speaking before his side's trip to West Ham on Saturday, Klopp described Arne as a 'good coach' and a 'good guy', while also praising his style of football.
