Mourinho sacked by Fenerbahce, Simons to join Spurs and more: football news – live | Premier League

Liverpool’s title defence continues on Sunday and Arne Slot was, of course, asked about Alexander Isak, who is doing his best to force a move to the defending champions from Newcastle.

Eddie Howe’s side have spent most of the summer trying to sign a new striker to replace Callum Wilson and Isak, if they let him leave. After missing out on several targets, they finally seemed to have found their man in Nick Woltemade.

Here is what Arne Slot said on the situation:

If it’s true, Newcastle have signed a new No9 and that’s very nice for Eddie because Anthony Gordon is suspended and Isak has not been training.

I said after Monday evening that I could make a substitute to impact the game and as always, we try to sign players who can help us.

But there’s no reason, after the first two games to complain to think we need more. But if we can strength the squad, we will try to do that if it’s for the right money and the right player.

Let’s see if we do something and if we can, what we can do.

Slot’s side will host Arsenal at Anfield, their closest rivals to the title last season:

There are a lot of similarities with both teams. The playing style of Arsenal hasn’t changed too much with the new signings coming in. Maybe they have a different No 9 than last season, Jesus is a real No 9 but he didn’t play as much, but the one they have now is different to Havertz or Trossard. Gyokeres is more of a target man so that’s maybe where there’s a small difference.
