"Arne Slot believes Liverpool have been unable to get the full value of their summer signings as a result of numerous injuries sustained during the first half of the season. The reigning Premier League champions spent around £450m in the summer transfer window, the largest outlay of any side in the competition's history, which included the £125m acquisition of Alexander Isak from Newcastle United, a new British transfer record."
"However, Isak has scored just two league goals since his arrival, and will now be out of action for at least two months after sustaining a fractured leg in a victory over Tottenham before Christmas. Liverpool also spent a reported £116.5m on Florian Wirtz, but the German international only just scored his first Reds goal in Saturday's win over Wolves, while Jeremie Frimpong has made just five starts in 11 games due to a series of niggles."
Liverpool spent around £450m in the summer transfer window, the biggest outlay in Premier League history, including £125m for Alexander Isak and a reported £116.5m for Florian Wirtz. Several high-profile signings have been hampered by injury: Isak has scored two league goals and will be sidelined for at least two months with a fractured leg; Wirtz only recently scored his first goal; Jeremie Frimpong has made five starts in 11 games due to niggles. Defender Giovanni Leoni suffered a season-ending injury in his first appearance. Liverpool lie 10 points behind Arsenal, making title retention unlikely.
