Jamie Carragher shares Liverpool 'suspicion' with telling verdict on title push

Jamie has said he suspects would-be title winners Liverpool will only improve in the years to come as the club looks to the transfer market.

Arne has led the Reds to in charge - so far - and is on the verge of earning the club just a second Premier League title, with just one defeat in his first 30 matches. That Slot has done so with a squad that was essentially assembled by another manager makes the achievement even more impressive.

The Dutchman last year after arriving from Feyenoord and Federico Chiesa is yet to start a Premier League game for the Reds. Slot has regularly spoken about how he wanted to assess the squad in his first summer and was delighted with the group that he inherited from .

Despite that, there have been serious questions asked about the make-up of the squad, certainly in the wake of those recent cu , and Carragher expects there to be big changes afoot, possibly starting this summer.

“No football team can ever be considered the finished article. We could all list the greatest club sides of all time, from Premier League to Champions League winners, and in each instance you will discover that within weeks of their success they were proactive in the transfer market,” the ex-Liverpool defender wrote in .

“The pursuit of perfection is unrelenting and it is human nature to analyse the flaws that need correcting as much as the strengths which propelled a side towards the biggest honours That is exactly how it feels for me watching Liverpool edge closer to the Premier League title. I am as excited about what they are going to become over the coming years as the potential celebrations in May.

“We are watching a very good Liverpool team on the brink of greatness. My suspicion is that during the course of his reign, Arne Slot and the recruitment team above him will have constructed a better squad, regardless of whether they match or eclipse this year’s likely success.”

Carragher added that Liverpool, in his eyes, needs six summer signings and should look to sign a left-back, center-back, holding midfielder, attacking midfielder, left winger and a striker. Adding depth in those areas would reduce the reliance on certain players such as Andy Robertson, Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch, while providing better back-up options in case there are injuries.

“Such additions would enhance rather than replace those who have inspired Liverpool to the top,” Carragher added. “What makes Slot’s achievement to this point more remarkable is that he has taken the side so far without making a major first-team signing other than the rarely used Federico Chiesa. Slot’s broader vision and idea of what Liverpool can become has yet to fully form.”
