Liverpool are set for a new era under Arne Slot, and club legend Roy Keane has weighed in on where they need to reinforce this summer. Speaking on *Sky Sports*, the former Manchester United captain highlighted three key areas the Reds must address to challenge for the Premier League title next season.
1. Defensive Midfielder
Keane believes Liverpool still lack a dominant holding midfielder following Fabinho’s departure last year. While Wataru Endo has been solid, the Irishman insists a top-class No. 6 is needed to provide stability and allow the attacking players more freedom.
2. Centre-Back
With Virgil van Dijk not getting any younger and Joel Matip leaving, Keane argues that Liverpool need a long-term partner for Ibrahima Konaté. A quick, physical defender would add depth and ensure the backline remains resilient in a grueling season.
3. Right-Sided Forward
Mohamed Salah’s future remains uncertain, and even if he stays, Keane thinks Liverpool must plan for the future. A dynamic right winger who can both score and create would ease the burden on Salah and provide competition in attack.
Final Thoughts
Keane’s assessment aligns with many fans’ concerns—strengthening these areas could be the difference between a good season and a trophy-winning one. Will Slot and Liverpool’s recruitment team act on his advice? Only time will tell.
