Arne Slot’s impending arrival at Liverpool Football Club is understood to be a ‘done deal’.
Fabrizio Romano shared the claim in question on his daily briefing with CaughtOffside, with the Reds and Feyenoord still yet to finalise compensation.
It is unclear whether an official statement on the subject will be made before Jurgen Klopp’s penultimate match as manager of the Merseysiders against Aston Villa.
According to reports, Liverpool is reportedly ready to activate Mohammed Kudus’s €98.85 million (£85 million) release clause this summer.
The West Ham winger’s contract with the team is slated to expire in2028, although he may be part of an exodus from the London team before David Moyes leaves, as is anticipated.
According to people with direct knowledge of the team, the recruitment team is eager to add more forward alternatives.
The Ghanaian has played in 32 Premier League games in 2023–24, scoring seven goals and dishing out six assists.

Pundit View: 28y/o PL star would ‘Prefer’ Tottenham transfer as West Ham eye summer switch
Brentford striker Ivan Toney would prefer a move to Tottenham this summer, rather than West Ham United, according to Alan Hutton.
After losing Harry Kane to Bayern Munich in the summer, Ange Postecoglou is looking to bolster his forward line with an all-around striker, and Spurs have previously been linked to the 28-year-old [Give Me Sport, 6 March].
West Ham and the Lilywhites are now the front-runners to sign him after Manchester United, who was also rumored to have shown interest, may have withdrew from the race [Football Transfers, 6 May].
Although Hutton thinks the Irons’ potential appointment of Julen Lopetegui may interest Toney, he believes the opportunity to play European football partnered with Postecoglou’s attacking style will see him prefer a move to Spurs.
“Maybe I’m a bit biased, but I think he would prefer a move to Tottenham,” Hutton told Tottenham News.
“I think playing in that stadium and the way that they play in this moment in time, I know it looks like Julen Lopetegui will be coming into West Ham and that could change things and Michail Antonio isn’t getting any younger, so perhaps they’re searching for a different line leader.
Without a doubt, he would score goals for both teams. He’s scored a ton of goals at Brentford; no offense intended, but I believe other teams will provide him with more chances.
“At the moment, Tottenham seems like a team that is going to chase the top four. I’m not saying they will definitely make it, but they will be chasing, and that could present a good opportunity for him,” the author said.
“In subsequent seasons, he might be the difference between them getting in and not getting in.”
Will Tottenham and Ange Postecoglou sign Ivan Toney during the summer transfer window?
Spurs need a natural number nine this summer. While both Son Heung-min and Richarlison have impressed when called upon this term, they haven’t been able to be that consistent source of goals that Kane once was.
There’s not much evidence to suggest that Toney wouldn’t score goals in North London given his track record of scoring goals everywhere he has played in his career. Postecoglou and Daniel Levy ought to exert every effort to bring in the English international this summer.
Even if David Moyes has led West Ham to two fantastic seasons, there is still a lot of concern about Lopetegui’s fit at the London Stadium, which could discourage Toney from making a summer transfer.
The Lilywhites could be able to make a run at the top four the next year if they prevail in this transfer competition.
James Maddison will be “angry” with Postecoglou following recent events in North London, according to other Tottenham news.
