If Slot himself has not only commented on, but confirmed, reported talks with Liverpool – it’s safe to say it looks like he’s the frontrunner for the job in question.

The Merseysiders had been thought to be keen on Sporting Lisbon’s Ruben Amorim, though it would seem that Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes have decided on a preference.

It remains to be seen whether talks between Feyenoord and the Reds will be fruitful, it’s worth pointing out, though it’s hard to imagine things derailing over compensation demands at this point!
