Liverpool manager Arne Slot could clearly be a big factor in the Reds’ favour if they decide to firm up their interest in Benfica star Orkun Kokcu.
The Turkey international was a star player for Slot at Feyenoord, captaining the club when the Dutch tactician guided them to the Eredivisie title in 2022/23.
Kokcu has continued to shine during his time with Benfica, and a recent report from Football Insider claimed Liverpool were keen on signing him.
Kokcu himself has now been quoted by Record as saying how much of a fan he is of Slot, crediting him for making him the player he is now, whilst also describing the LFC manager as the best coach in the world.
He made me the player I am today. He is the best coach in the world,” Kokcu said of Slot, as per Record.
