The transfer race is hotting up again with just a couple of weeks to go before the window closes, and it’s come to light that Newcastle have been offered one of their former stars by Liverpool.
It’s been a few weeks since Arne Slot has had his feet under the Anfield table now, and it seems fairly clear that the Dutchman knows what he wants from his starting XI and his squad more generally.
