Arne Slot's demand for Liverpool's squad is set to trigger a triple signing. Give the man what he wants.
Arne Slot won the Premier League with a squad that wasn't even his. Liverpool tried to give him one player he asked for - Martin Zubimendi - and failed to do so.

The success was with a group of stars built for Jürgen Klopp's methods. The club are now doing all they can to give him his squad as they expect things to move up yet another level if they do.
We've seen that in operation this summer, of course. Florian Wirtz arrived for a club-record fee, while Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez have arrived in record deals for a right-back and left-back respectively.
Hugo Ekitike is the new centre-forward, with more signings almost certainly on the way. We can guarantee that if only because the squad has holes in it - and with even more holes to come.
Which actually brings about one of Slot's demands at Liverpool. If the Reds really want to give him what he wants, a triple transfer is on the way.
Arne Slot's demands
Per The Times, Slot wants six forwards in his squad. It's part of a larger request to have two players for every role but six forwards was a necessity last season.
It's why Federico Chiesa was signed and why he wasn't let go in January. Slot wants six and was given six.
Right now, he also has six: Mo Salah, Darwin Nunez, Cody Gakpo, Luis Diaz, Chiesa and Ekitike. Three of those forwards are expected to depart, however.
Nunez and Chiesa have long been linked with exits. Diaz will join Bayern Munich in the coming days, too.
