Liverpool clinched their 20th Premier League title in style last weekend with a dominant 5-1 win over Tottenham at Anfield, capping off a stellar debut season for manager Arne Slot.
The Reds led the league with 25 wins, netted 80 goals, and suffered just two losses, finishing 15 points clear at the top.
Despite the impressive campaign, Slot is expected to be backed with one of the biggest transfer budgets in the club’s history this summer as Liverpool looks to strengthen the squad for a title defense.
After a quiet transfer window last year, with only Federico Chiesa joining, the Reds plan to be more aggressive this time.
Former Premier League forward Troy Deeney believes Liverpool should prioritize signing a top striker and named Newcastle’s Alexander Isak as an ideal target. “He’s the best striker in the league right now. If Arsenal sign him, they win the league — it’s that simple,” Deeney claimed.
Isak has impressed with 11 Premier League goals and has been lauded for his movement and link-up ability. However, landing the Swedish star would likely cost Liverpool over £130 million, according to reports.
As the summer window approaches, Liverpool’s priority will be strengthening key positions to stay ahead in the title race and push for back-to-back league triumphs.
