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.
