Freundrup most likely from that assessment but Slot will have his own ideas too.
Personally would love Inacio at CB but we would have to pay his full buy out fee.
Hancko and Gertruida might be possibilities for the defence.
Bakayoko or Kudus would both be good options for the Salah replacement and if Diaz decides to move to Barcelona then Summerville is an option for the left side.

Kudus wouldn’t be my first choice but he’s decent and although he would likely require some time for development he has a high ceiling and is solid enough for the immediate future too. I’d still prefer Bowen or Mbuemo mind you. Think they’ve got a bit more fire about them and also an all around game where they can create as many as they score. Kudus crossing tends to just be lashing balls across into an area without looking. Mbuemo and Bowen get their head up and can whip or float them in to team mates.
Not keen on Bakayoko. Think we need a proven goal scorer at Premier League level to replace Salah. He’s also only 21 and I honestly think if you played Elliott RW for 44 games in Holland for the team that wins the league he’d have a similar output to Bakayoko’s 13 goals.
Be interesting to see how we replace Salah when he goes. Szoboszlai might even have something to say about it as he’s quality out wide when he played there for Leipzig and Hungary.
