McConnell was linked with a Liverpool return since before Christmas, after failing to take the Eredivisie by storm.
He’s a player Slot likes, and there’s a chance he can play an important role in what’s left of the season.
That could force the Dutchman to go back on his word to Nyoni.
Arne Slot told Trey Nyoni he’s on the verge of the first-team
Nyoni is an unbelievable prospect, and someone seen as having a part to play at Liverpool long-term.
Slot promised more minutes for Nyoni this season, having been mostly left out in the cold to this point. He said: “I think Trey showed when he came in that he comes closer and closer to a situation where I can also bring him in.”
