Behind the scenes in the backroom staff there are already some really exciting arrivals as well.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst is set to be appointed as Arne Slot's assistant in what is a major coup. Van Bronckhorst won the Champions League as a player and he comes with a really impressive resume as a manager.

Before Slot, he was the last manager to win the Eredivisie league title with Feyenoord and he also led Rangers to the Europa League final.
The fact that Liverpool managed to get a manager of this calibre to be an assistant speaks volumes of what the Reds are building behind the scenes.
And after Van Bronckhorst they have pulled off another coup.
Liverpool's official website confirmed the appointment of Rob Page as the club's U21 manager. He will replace the departing Barry Lewtas and this is another genius appointment.
In Page, Liverpool are bringing someone to the U21 team with a lot of experience as a manager at senior level. In fact, for Wales he became the first manager in 64 years to help the country qualify to the World Cup.

Page of course had his critics at times, too. Towards the end of his time, he didn't quite have the right squad and was competing in the UEFA Nations League A division, where he had to face a lot better teams on the international stage.
That will be different with Liverpool. His track record working with Wales' young players is impressive. The likes of Neco Williams, Brennan Johnson and many more were integrated into Wales' senior team under Page.

The fast learning of Inter's youth saw off River Plate – Fluminense should be worried
Petar Sucic will learn a thing or two from Inter's experienced midfielders. Having joined the Champions League finalists earlier this month, Sucic, 21, came off the bench to assist Francesco Pio Esposito, 19, for their team's first goal in a 2-0 victory against River Plate in the Club World Cup on Wednesday. Advertisement Susic's eyes closely tracked the movement of his centre-forwards when he came on the pitch, but before that, it's likely they were focused on Inter's midfield as they secured their place in the knockout stage. Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Nicolo Barella aren't just a pleasure to watch, they can also be a helpful guide to Inter's youngsters when it comes to what they are doing with and without the ball. Against River, it was their off-ball runs from midfield that grabbed the attention. The midfield duo started ahead of Kristjan Asllani and constantly attacked the space, with Esposito and Lautaro Martinez up front complementing their movement. Barella and Mkhitaryan were usually one step ahead of their markers, Rodrigo Aliendro and Matias Kranevitter. Here, they are surging forward before Alessandro Bastoni picks his pass. Inter's left centre-back plays a long pass towards Denzel Dumfries and Barella's initial movement gives him the advantage over Aliendro. When Dumfries wins the aerial duel and controls the ball, Barella continues his forward movement and the right wing-back finds his run. Meanwhile, on the other side, Kranevitter leaves Mkhitaryan, choosing instead to protect the central space… … but the latter's run towards the back post becomes more dangerous when Barella progresses down the right wing. Kranevitter then moves to defend the back post, and Esposito realises that the space is in front of the defence — he smartly holds his run to offer Barella a cutback option. The Italy midfielder then plays the ball to Esposito… …. whose shot is blocked by the defence. In another example, Kranevitter is away from Mkhitaryan and looking to contest the second ball as Yann Sommer goes direct to Inter's centre-forwards. When Esposito heads the long ball towards the left side of Inter's attack, Mkhitaryan immediately pounces, with River's right-back, Gonzalo Montiel, hesitant because Federico Dimarco (out of shot) is in position to attack the space behind him. Montiel and Kranevitter are left in no man's land, and Inter combine quickly to attack the space behind River's right-back. Dimarco's threat down the left wing forces River's right centre-back, Quarta, to react, leaving his partner, Paulo Diaz, alone against Esposito. Mkhitaryan spots Esposito darting towards the near post with River's left centre-back moving with him, and attacks the space… … but Dimarco's cross doesn't reach him. As Sucic watched from the bench, Esposito's lessons were more hands-on. The forward, who only made his debut a couple of days ago against Urawa Red Diamonds, operated alongside Martinez, and there's probably no one better to learn Inter's centre-forward role from. Just like Martinez has been doing throughout the years, Esposito made the right runs, held the ball up and linked the attack. In this example, Bastoni chips the ball towards Esposito with Barella way behind his marker Aliendro. As Esposito chests down the ball and dribbles inside to switch the play towards Dumfries, Barella dashes forward to start his third-man run… … which allows him to breeze past Aliendro and attack the space behind River's left-back, Marcos Acuna. Dumfries finds Barella's run… … and the Italy midfielder returns the pass with a lovely backheel. Inter's combination down the right side takes out Aliendro and Acuna, which forces Kranevitter to defend the gap, leaving Mkhitaryan free in the process. Dumfries then plays the cutback to Mkhitaryan… … but River's centre-backs manage to block the midfielder's shot. The runs from midfield were vital to Inter's victory which allowed them to top the group. First, it was Mkhitaryan's off-ball run that led to Quarta's dismissal. Here, the Armenia midfielder dashes behind Giorgio Costantini, who replaced Kranevitter, as Dumfries plays the ball forward. Quarta thinks he is safe because Esposito is dropping from an offside position in front of him… … but the real threat is Mkhitaryan who is surging forward and capitalises on the centre-back's mistake. Mkhitaryan beats Quarta to the ball and the defender's late tackle forces River to continue the match with 10 men. Second, the runs from midfield led to Inter's first goal when Barella's replacement, Sucic, attacked the correct space. In the build-up to the goal, River's midfield three are all over the place because they are trying to mark their counterparts while pressing Inter's right centre-back, Matteo Darmian. As a result, Costantini is left in between Sucic and Mkhitaryan, and Darmian finds the latter. River's midfielders try to organise themselves as Mkhitaryan plays the ball wide to Carlos Augusto… … but the Armenian's movement drags Costantini wide and creates a gap, which Sucic attacks as Augusto plays the ball to Asllani. Asllani then finds Sucic between the lines… … and the Croatia midfielder plays the ball to Esposito… … who dribbles past the onrushing defender and slots it into the bottom corner. Esposito's brilliant performance and Sucic's impressive cameo showed that they have an understanding of how Inter operate in possession of the ball. They will continue watching and learning, like Asllani, who was previously the understudy to Marcelo Brozovic and Hakan Calhanoglu. Considering Inter's injuries during the Club World Cup, these strong performances from their younger generation are promising. More importantly, it's a step towards the side's rejuvenation this season. Inter's youngsters should keep their eyes open because the chances are coming.

Andy Robertson's Liverpool exit takes new twist as Atletico Madrid 'closing in' on transfer
Liverpool earlier confirmed the signing of Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth. In the same day, Andy Robertson's future appears to have taken a new turn. There is little doubt that Kerkez is intended as the successor to Robertson. The one question mark is how quickly Arne Slot intends to make that transition. Advertisement Amid reports that Atletico Madrid was keen on the Scot this summer, it seemed as though Liverpool might make the change instantly. Selling Kostas Tsimikas would have been the preferred solution for many, but the Reds cannot dictate where the demand is — and Robertson, still only 31, would be within his rights to seek a more assured starting spot away from Anfield. READ MORE: Milos Kerkez first words after Liverpool transfer as left back agrees 5-year deal READ MORE: Liverpool transfer news LIVE: Konate 'wants to leave', Milos Kerkez announced, Marc Guehi latest However, a move to Spain has now been cast into serious doubt. Atletico Madrid is pressing ahead with a move for left-back Matteo Ruggeri of Atalanta. Advertisement Per Fabrizio Romano, Ruggeri has moved ahead of "other candidates" for the position. The transfer is advanced, with final details being sorted out. This could end up being excellent news for Liverpool. It might indicate that Robertson is ready to stay another year. Over the course of a long season, he and Kerkez could certainly share some of the workload. But while they would be fundamentally competing for a place, the new signing would also be getting the chance to learn from someone he recognizes as one of the best to have ever done it. "Yeah, really excited, like I say," Kerkez told "I had a conversation with my brothers and we always say that, also for me personally, Robbo is the best left-back that played in the Premier League, for me, and my brothers agree on that also. Advertisement "So, to come and to be next to such a player who has so much experience, played so many years on a high level, won the Champions League and everything, it's important for me. Like I said, all the guys are good and they're all going to help me to reach a higher potential." New Liverpool signing Milos Kerkez. -Credit:Andrew Powell/Liverpool FC via Getty Images Robertson seems to have largely faded out of these conversations in the past season or two, but there's no denying that at his very best, there are few past or present who can measure up to him. Utterly tireless, capable of being decisive at both ends, he has been a key pillar of Liverpool's modern success. You can tell in the way he plays that Kerkez looks up to peak Robertson as the ideal example of a modern left-back. He has that same relentlessness, that same desire to put in a wicked cross and then sprint back like his life depends on it when required. Advertisement Having both of them on the books, at least for one more season, can only be a good thing for Slot. Kerkez may need time to adjust, and will certainly need to adapt to a significantly higher game load than he has previously experienced. Liverpool will be in the Champions League, where it is priced as the outright favorite to go all the way to the final. It has made a habit of going deep in the domestic cups over the last few years too, and even the familiar 38-game Premier League season will mark a new level of intensity for Kerkez at Anfield. There could be no better mentor than Robertson, a decade his senior. And it would follow in a great Liverpool tradition of smooth transitions. Robertson himself only won his place after months of patience behind Alberto Moreno. Fabinho was given a long bedding-in period before becoming the anchor of Jurgen Klopp's side. Advertisement Indeed, looking at the current defense, only Virgil van Dijk was parachuted straight in. Conor Bradley was given the chance to gradually share duties with Trent Alexander-Arnold, while Ibrahima Konate very slowly took up the mantle from Joel Matip. That latter example is probably the perfect model to follow in terms of Robertson passing the torch to Kerkez. The Hungarian would be ready to step up right away if called upon, but Atletico Madrid's pivot could work out very nicely at Anfield.
