“I Usually Avoid Premier League Transfers – But These Two Are Different”: Arne Slot Teases Surprise Double Swoop at Liverpool
Liverpool’s new head coach Arne Slot is already making waves as he outlines his vision for the club post-Jürgen Klopp.
In a recent interview, the Dutchman opened up about his transfer approach — and hinted strongly at two Premier League players he’s eager to sign this summer.
“I’m not generally a fan of buying within the Premier League,” Slot revealed. “But for these two, I’d happily make an exception. One plays for West Ham, and the other… let’s just say I know him very well.”
His comments quickly sent fans and pundits into a frenzy, with speculation pointing to West Ham duo Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus — both standout performers and ideal fits for Slot’s dynamic, pressing style.
Bowen, known for his energy, intelligent movement, and consistent goal output, could help fill the void if Luis Díaz or Mohamed Salah depart.
Meanwhile, Kudus — whom Slot is familiar with from their Eredivisie days — offers pace, flair, and versatility, qualities Liverpool’s midfield has lacked since Gini Wijnaldum’s exit.
“Kudus is the kind of player who can break lines, beat defenders, and score — rare qualities,” Slot added.
Insiders suggest Liverpool could prepare a combined bid of over £100 million to tempt West Ham, although convincing them to part with both stars won’t be easy.
Still, the prospect of Champions League football and joining a new era under Slot could be hard to resist.
For a manager who typically avoids domestic signings, Slot’s interest in Bowen and Kudus speaks volumes — and signals his intent to reshape Liverpool with players ready to thrive in his high-octane system.
