Arne Slot is said to be determined to maintain a strong squad following their Premier League triumph, and the former Brighton man is central to the Dutchman’s plans for next season.
The news was reported by Football Insider's Mick Brown, a former Man United and Blackburn chief scout.

“Alexis Mac Allister is a player I hear they have been looking at as well,” Brown states in his report.
“The new manager knows the Liverpool scene well, he’ll still have his contacts at the club and he’ll be speaking to them about a possible deal. It would be a huge deal.
“So he’ll know the situation as much as any opposition manager can do.”
