Liverpool news: Opinion – Ian Kennedy on what next

It has all been said about Liverpool’s title win. The plaudits heading the way of Arne Slot and his players are thoroughly deserved. But important days still lie ahead, starting at Chelsea on Sunday.

Every team Liverpool play between now and the end of the season will want to prove themselves against the champions. Mind you, that is something the Reds deal with every week, so no change there.

Then it will be a case of summer recruitment plans.

The future of Trent Alexander-Arnold is still to be sorted out, but where do Liverpool need to strengthen? How many players will they look to bring in, and who might leave?

These are the questions Slot and his backroom team will have been pondering and it will be a big summer either way as the club will want to build on this success and make it a regular occurrence. Building from a position of strength, as they say.

But they will not buy for buying’s sake. This squad won the title comfortably let’s not forget. There are great players on the bench every week, so maybe we can expect only minimal changes.

Anyway, that’s for another day. One game at a time – and four still to play!
