Liverpool have opened talks with Feyenoord about appointing Arne Slot as their new manager.
According to Sky Sports, Slot is now the favourite to replace Jurgen Klopp at Anfield.
The Dutchman is believed to tick all their key criteria for the role and the process could move quickly with the 45-year-old keen to join the Reds.
Slot lifted the KNVB Cup last weekend and guided Feyenoord to their first title in six years last season.
He appeals to Liverpool due to his aggressive, full-throttle style.
Slot’s penchant for a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 formation also fits Liverpool’s squad.
