Slots are more valuable than Gordon & Kerkez in Liverpool’s “Monsters”

7 Min Read

FSG has been brushing off the spider web like a house servant he owned before Arne Slot’s second season in Liverpool, as it has not been in glory this summer.

Certainly there are very few spider webs. Liverpool won the Premier League last season. In case you missed it, you achieved the feat with almost the same team as the one Jurgen Klopp left when you left 12 months ago.

However, Slot does not recreate his predecessor in facsimiles, instead taking the same piece and creating something new. However, all the successes on the Anfield side on the league front led them to various cup competitions. It is clear that increasing depth is necessary to take this amazing team to the next level.

Imagine what he can achieve when he returns to the pattern of the transfer market. Fortunately, such a dream will become a reality for Reds supporters. Liverpool is mercilessly attacking the transfer market.

Liverpool’s summer transfer plan

Liverpool has already offset the disappointment of losing Trent Alexander Arnold to Real Madrid by signing Bayer Lebaxen’s Rapid Jeremy Fripon.

It also appears that a high-level debate has come to mind regarding Milos Kerquez of Bournemouth. He is targeted as the long-term successor to Andy Robertson at left back.

However, with Mohamed Salah extending his contract for two years, it is on the left side of the Liverpool team that needs more attention, particularly for his move to the Saudi Arab League.

Florian Whartz is at the heart of a long and complicated negotiation between Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen, with FSG preparing to offer a £118 million UK record bid to secure a world-class playmaker.

However, he was in 10th place, which is why Liverpool was centred around Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon. The former Everton star was able to return to Merseyside with a fee of £80 million.

Diaz needs to be replaced, but Gordon may not automatically walk to slot start XI in slot, regardless of the fees required to take him from Tyneside.

Certainly, Cody Gakupo has produced a stunning season for Liverpool.

Liverpool hit gold with Cody Gakupo

When Liverpool signed Gakpo for £35 million from PSV Eindhoven in January 2023, he arrived behind an eye-catching World Cup show with the Netherlands, scoring in each of Oranger’s group stage fixtures.

But it wasn’t all smooth sailing. Gakupo, his first half season at Merseyside, was one of the great turbulences for Liverpool, but he was still impressed with the burst.

And after the 2023/24 campaign, which proved Gakupo’s best position and promised further improvements despite Klopp shuffling him in every inch of the park, he hits his path with the slot system, documenting his most productive haul.

Data via the transfer market

The quality of the 26-year-old, welcomed by journalist Declan Kerr in his “monster” season, was enough to make suitors start to pay attention to his skills.

Certainly, it appears that Liverpool beat Bayern Munich to Wirtz’s signature, so the Bundesliga champions are focusing their eyesight on Gakupo, Sky Germany reports.

However, given that FSG has set the asking price at 100 million euros (£84 million), it is unlikely that Die Roten will continue to pursue the quarry.

The player’s price tag shows his caliber and actually proves one or more of the best wingers of English football at Gordon.

For reference, see how Dutchman compares to Gordon for his Premier League performance last season. Is it fair to say that Gordon has arrived at a rate of £80 million and may not even be able to kick out Gakpo for his lead role on the left flank?

Of course, Gordon showed a deeper level of quality in the previous period, when he scored 11 goals and 15 assists on top flights before earning Newcastle Player of the Year, but Gakupo’s progress at Liverpool is geared up for upcoming campaigns.

Gakpo’s prolific ability can be seen pairing well with Kerkez, who is expected to sign as Liverpool’s new left-back. According to FBREF, Gakpo ranked in the top 5% of offensive midfielders and wingers in the Premier League last season, scoring per 90 (0.47).

Kerquez’s energy and enthusiasm may prove to be perfect for Liverpool’s £120k-fore-week star per week. The Hungarian, who Bournemouth seeks £45 million, has been a “revelation” for the South Coast over the past two years, arguing that Pandit Jamie Karager advances and supplements Gakupo’s offensive intentions.

The defensive player rarely costs as much as his futures counterpart, but Gakpo’s extremely high value is a firm comment on Liverpool’s embrace of him.

If Liverpool sells Diaz to Al Nasr and others this summer, bringing players like Gordon with them isn’t the worst idea in the world.

However, Gakupo may find that since Slot went to the dugout, he has gained strength from strength to strength, recreating the role of Liverpool’s first choice in his next term.
