Jamie Carragher has some reservations about Arne Slot, with the manager in talks to replace Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool.

With Klopp leaving Anfield at the end of the season after nearly nine trophy laden years, time is running out for Liverpool to find his successor.

The Reds were interested in Bayer Leverkusen’s Xabi Alonso and Sporting Lisbon’s Ruben Amorim, but in the last few days Slot has suddenly become the frontrunner.

The Feyenoord boss is reportedly in talks to take the reins at the Premier League giants and is keen on the job.

While well-regarded, the Dutchman is not as highly-rated as some of the other candidates and rumoured names and Carragher agrees he would not be the most inspiring appointment.
‘What I would say is that Feyenoord to Liverpool is a huge jump and I think it shows at the moment that there’s probably a dearth in terms of top managers out there,’ the Liverpool legend said on Sky Sports.

‘When you look at who Liverpool were going for initially, Xabi Alonso whose only in his first full season as a manager. There was talk of Amorim from Sporting, he’s only 39. And Arne Slot looks like he’s the favourite right now.
