Arne Slot says he doesn’t believe signings are needed to improve leadership:
“I’m not saying that we need to sign them. I think we have them already.
"As I said, senior players are not the only ones who set the standards at a club. If I look at Paris Saint-Germain: Desire Doue is 20, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is 25. Can they set standards for another generation or for a team?
"I don’t know what time they are in the gym, by the way. But I do know they set the right standards on the pitch.
"And this is what Mo did when he was 26. I don’t think it comes down to ages that only 32 or 33-year-old players can set standards. They have lived it and experienced it and know what it takes to play at this level.
"But come on, we are not talking about Florian Wirtz or Hugo Ekitike or Alexander Isak and all these players we signed. They are not children, these are serious professionals that now know what it takes to play in the Premier League and Champions League at this level."

Arne Slot GRIPPED the top of the chair he was standing over, his fingers DIGGING into the fabric and tried to BITE his lip.
‘I WISH I was able to say what I feel at this moment, but I CANT.’
