Liverpool are basking in celebrations after clinching this season’s Premier League title following the 5-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
Manager Arne Slot has done an incredible job in his debut season, successfully taking over the reigns from his predecessor Jurgen Klopp.
However, the Dutch manager will look back in hindsight that the Reds had the chance to lift a treble, something he will be keen to achieve in the upcoming seasons.
Unlike last summer, when there was hardly any movement in the transfer market, Liverpool are looking to bolster their squad with a few fresh faces in the forthcoming transfer window.
They solved the two biggest conundrums by extending the contracts of star duo Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, although Trent Alexander-Arnold looks destined to join Real Madrid on a free transfer this summer.
A top-class right-back is a priority in the transfer market, yet Slot’s men are exploring options to strengthen other areas on the pitch.

Wharton has continued his impressive performance this season, growing into one of the top midfielders in the Premier League.
The 21-year-old put on a world-class performance against Aston Villa in the FA Cup semi-finals on Saturday to help the Eagles set up a final against Manchester City.
With the English youngster’s stock on the rise, it looks difficult for Palace to keep hold of him this summer, as was the case with Michael Olise last year.
Is Adam Wharton a good addition for Liverpool?
Liverpool currently boasts one of the best midfield groups in Europe at the moment, thanks to the incredible impact of Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai.
Wataru Endo has also proven to be a capable backup, but his future appears to be away from Anfield this summer due to the lack of game time.
Adam Wharton can be a perfect addition to Liverpool’s stacked midfield, with his reputation as one of the best defensive midfielders in the country.
His taller stature and physicality make him a good ball-winner. He is also an excellent reader of the game, snuffing out the opponent’s attacks quickly.
Another big weapon in Wharton’s armoury is his phenomenal passing range. He is an excellent progressive passer who often breaks the lines with his sublime passing skills.
Dubbed as the future of the English national team, Adam Wharton has all the tools to be successful at a top club, and Liverpool should try to pounce on the English international, who is valued at £50 million.
