A deal from the shadows… Slot is planning a powerful tactical strike

Arne Slott is set to strengthen Liverpool’s arsenal with a betting specialist as they look to close the gap on Premier League champions Arsenal, who achieved record numbers in this regard last season.

Slot insists on signing Rennes from Feyenoord.

The Telegraph newspaper reports that the Dutch coach is looking to include Feyenoord’s Etienne Rennen, who he previously worked with at Rotterdam, and who he was keen to sign when he joined the Reds to replace Jurgen Klopp in 2024.

The move is a huge morale boost for Liverpool at the end of a season in which Arsenal won the title thanks to their overwhelming superiority in set-pieces.

Arsenal led by scoring 28 goals

Arsenal have scored 28 goals from set-pieces (corners, free-kicks, free-kicks and free-kicks) this season, nine behind Liverpool, who are seventh in the Premier League in this category.

Mikel Arteta’s side set a record by scoring 18 goals from corners alone, setting the model for Liverpool to emulate.
