Arne Slot FAVOURITE could be on his way after Liverpool scouting mission

Liverpool are reportedly scouting one of the best versatile midfielders in Europe this season. He's an Arne Slot favourite to boot.

Record reports that Liverpool have been watching Orkun Kokcu of Benfica. The Reds sent scouts to watch him over the weekend as Benfica beat Rio Ave 5-0.

It's an easy one for Liverpool to get behind, after all. Kokcu was captain of Feyenoord when they won the Eredivisie title under Arne Slot - he joined Benfica the following summer.

And as Slot looks to build on his impressive start at Anfield, he may well see a lot of value in linking up with his former star. Liverpool are apparently weighing it all up right now.
