Arne Slot is set to speak to the media today (Friday) ahead of this weekend’s Premier League match against West Ham United.
The Dutchman hasn’t been in front of the cameras since last Sunday when the Reds were beaten 3-2 by Fulham at Craven Cottage, but it has proved to be a significant week since then.
News that Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah are close to signing contract extensions was a welcome relief to fans after a season that has been dominated by speculation surrounding their deals. What that means for Trent Alexander-Arnold is another matter.
Slot will likely be asked about the contract sagas during his press conference, while he is expected to give an update on injuries, especially on the availability of goalkeeper Alisson. The Brazilian has missed the last two matches due to a head injury, but the expectation is that he will be available against West Ham.
As for transfer news, Dean Huijsen has revealed he does have a release clause in his contract, prompting inevitable talks of a summer exit, while Ryan Gravenberch’s agent has made some alarming claims about the player one day moving to Real Madrid or Barcelona.
Stay up to date with Friday’s press conference here and all of the latest Liverpool news.
