Arne Slot denies Liverpool made an 11th-hour move to hijack Mats Wieffer's switch to Brighton
Arne Slot has denied Liverpool made an 11th-hour move to hijack Brighton's deal for Feyenoord midfielder Mats Wieffer.
A report in De Telegraaf suggested Slot had attempted to engineer Wieffer's switch to Merseyside as he closed in on a transfer to the south coast. The report wrote: "At the last moment, Liverpool came into the corner via Wieffer's own camp, and not via Feyenoord. Arne Slot has been a big fan of the player for the past two years. However, Wieffer has already verbally agreed on the conditions to play for the Seagulls in the coming years.
"I think it's especially nice for him," Slot told 1908 in the Netherlands. "When you see where he comes from. That two years after he came from Excelsior, he can make the step to the Premier League. That's great for him.
