Liverpool coach addresses quiet transfer window

New Liverpool manager Arne Slot has commented on the club's failure to make a single new signing in the current transfer window.

Slot took over from Jurgen Klopp in July but will be dealing with the same squad from last season going into the opening Premier League game against Ipswich Town.

The Reds were reportedly keen on Spain and Real Sociedad star Martín Zubimendi to bolster the midfield, however the Spaniard opted to stay in the Spanish top-flight.

"Jürgen left the team in a good place," Slot said, as per ESPN.

"I said many times our squad is really strong and it's not easy to find players who can strengthen us."

"Zubimendi was one [to strengthen the squad] but unfortunately he decided not to come.

"[Liverpool signing directors] did every effort to get Zubimendi to come in but if a player doesn't want to come..."

The Dutch tactician added that he has not changed too much from Jurgen Klopp's style in the new season.

"We're not changing everything. Actually, we [didn't] change that much because many things were already good," he said.

"Fortunately for me, a lot of this playing style the boys already knew, because many things have stayed the same and we have tried to adjust where we can to improve the team.

"Last season was also a season where they could win a trophy with this team, so we are hoping and aiming for the same."
