When Arne Slot first joined Liverpool last summer, he was so busy that he barely had time to cook an evening meal.

The groceries in his fridge were often left uneaten as a takeaway box from kitchen staff at the AXA Training Centre provided a quick alternative.

In between finding a formula to win the Premier League, Slot was busy building a connection with his new club and settling into an apartment in Cheshire. The convenience of a ready-made, but nutritious, meal allowed him to continue working at home — often studying opposition analysis — without the hassle of needing to cook.

Now, Liverpool are trying to bed in a number of high-profile new signings tasked with taking the club to new levels.

Florian Wirtz, the gem of German football, has signed for a record-breaking £116million, while Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong have also joined as part of a near-£300million spend.
