ARNE SLOT is poised to be confirmed as Liverpool’s next manager after a compensation deal with Feyenoord was agreed “in principle”.
It means the Dutchman, 45, is set to succeed outgoing legendary boss Jurgen Klopp at Anfield in the summer.

Negotiations with Holland giants Feyenoord are understood to have been finalised.
And it’s even thought Slot’s contract details at Liverpool have also been sorted out.
His incoming appointment is expected to be confirmed within days.
It comes 24 hours after Sky Sports journalist Gary Cotterill was grabbed and held away from the former AZ Alkmaar chief when he tried to question him over the role.
Cotterill was blocked off by a member of the manager’s entourage.
Slot smiled but was unwilling to give out any information.
He was a solid midfielder as a player.
Slot notched 50 goals in 164 games in a seven-year stint at first club Zwolle.
Then came five years with NAC Breda and a spell with Sparta Rotterdam from 2007-10 before he returned to Zwolle to finish his playing career.
Not surprisingly, it was at Zwolle where Slot turned to coaching after he retired on he pitch in 2013.
