Arne Slot’s opening months as Liverpool head coach have been action-packed and entertaining. Three games, three wins, three clean sheets and seven goals scored are the highlight figures — but that only tells half the story.

The Mexico international Santiago Gimenez proved prolific for Slot at Feyenoord, scoring 23 and 26 goals in two seasons but the Dutchman noted the striker had a barren spell during his debut campaign in the Netherlands and said it took him a while to get used to his brand of football.
