Jamie Carragher's bold Arne Slot comment proven true in £446m Liverpool transfer window

Carragher

Arne Slot could unleash the full force of his new recruits when Liverpool travel to face Burnley on Sunday.

After Alexander Isak arrived at Anfield for a Premier League record £125million, the Reds boss could deploy the Swede against Scott Parker's side, along with£116m ace Florian Wirtz and £79m forward Hugo Ekitike.

This summer of unprecedented spending has raised the bar for Liverpool, who are the only team in the division with a 100% winning start to the new campaign.

It has been a breathtaking few months for Slot, who wasted no time in refreshing a squad which won the Premier League last season.

The Dutchman's aggressive spending totalling £446m may have also pleased Jamie Carragher, who previously accused the ex-Feyenoord boss of not fully trusting a squad which was still shaped in Jurgen Klopp's image.

The ex-Reds defender made those comments towards the end of April, when Liverpool only needed one singular point to win the Premier League title.

Slot was working wonders with the players at his disposal, but having only signed Federico Chiesa in his first transfer window, it was clear the success still had Klopp's fingerprints over it.

Carragher suggested this was something Slot would change, before admitting he was not convinced the Reds manager trusted the players at his disposal.
