Arne Slot knows what he wants for his team. Last season was an experiment for him and it turned out positive in the domestic league. I feel the target now is to win the UEFA so he needs to strengthen the team's attack so his finishing gets more accuracy and precision. It's not enough to dominate a game but been able to have the points is what really counts so I feel Slot is keeping that has his priority.
Arsenal is also interested in signing Gyokeres. At the end of the day the highest bidder seals the deal.
Last season Arne Slot continued the squad that Klopp had built and he managed to do it well. And this season I think Arne Slot is trying to further perfect the Liverpool squad. because he tested the existing squad last season. And he must have discovered the weaknesses this team has. And yes, now is the right time to correct these shortcomings. And so it is not surprising that Liverpool will be quite active in the transfer market this time. This is different from last season's transfer market where Liverpool did not move much.
Regarding Gyokeres, it seems that this player is more interested in Arsenal. Although in fact Manchester United and Liverpool are also moving to get this player. And we know Liverpool will have to get Gyokeres if the rumors about Darwin Nunes turn out to be true, namely Darwin Nunes will reportedly be released to Napoli.
