Life after becoming Premier League<\/a> champions isn’t easy. Liverpool<\/a> learned that on Sunday, as they suffered a disappointing 3-1 loss<\/a> away to Chelsea<\/a>.<\/p>\n Arne Slot<\/a> named a rotated line-up at Stamford Bridge, rewarding players who’ve been on the fringes. The Dutchman didn’t get the desired response, though, as Liverpool found themselves behind after just three minutes.<\/p>\n Chelsea doubled their lead in their second half thanks to a Jarell Quansah own goal and it got worse for the Reds youngster when he gave away a penalty in stoppage time. Virgil van Dijk’s<\/a> late header was unable to spark a comeback.<\/p>\n One defeat won’t be enough to burst Liverpool’s bubble but it’s a reminder that there’s still room to improve. Slot has teased fans that a ‘big summer’ is on the horizon<\/a>, with the Reds looking to win back-to-back titles for the first time since 1984.<\/p>\n Here’s a round-up of the latest transfer news from Anfield.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Chelsea take advantage of Liverpool title hangover as Blues star silences Reds chants<\/a>READ MORE: Arne Slot makes Liverpool Federico Chiesa admission as Ryan Gravenberch sacrificed<\/a>Man Utd join race for Mbeumo<\/p>\n Manchester United<\/a> are ready to enter the race to sign Brentford<\/a> star Bryan Mbeumo, who’s been linked with Liverpool and Newcastle<\/a>. Mbeumo, 25, was part of the Bees side who won 4-3 against United on Sunday and the Red Devils were watching his individual performance closely.<\/p>\n The Telegraph<\/a> report that the \u00a360million-rated winger is high on United’s shortlist. Mbeumo has scored 18 goals and provided six assists in the Premier League this season and will be in demand in the summer.<\/p>\n Read the full story on Mbeumo<\/a> here.<\/strong><\/p>\n Should Liverpool sign Bryan Mbeumo? Have your say in the comments section<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Slot makes transfer admission<\/p>\n Arne Slot admits that despite being happy with his current squad, Liverpool can’t stand still in the summer transfer window<\/a>. Slot told Sky Sports<\/a>: “We will see what the summer will bring, but I’ve said many times we’re happy with the squad we have.<\/p>\n “It’s also true that this is the second year in a row these players are together and sometimes it can be good to bring in some fresh energy. Last time [summer], we decided to keep them all so we will see what we will do, but it’s already been a big summer.<\/p>\n “Only if we see a chance in the market or we see someone we think can improve us. It’s not so easy to improve this team because they’ve already won the Premier League.”<\/p>\n Real Sociedad<\/a> president Jokin Aperribay has suggested that Martin Zubimendi hasn’t made a final decision on his future. Spainish midfielder Zubimendi was close to joining Liverpool for \u00a350million last summer but the 26-year-old now looks set to join Arsenal<\/a>.<\/p>\n “We’ll see what happens,” Aperribay said. All I ask of him is one last effort to qualify for Europe and whatever happens will happen in June. There’s no point in speculating now about whether he’ll be there. He’s had several opportunities to leave and he’ll make the decision he wants, because he’ll have more options.”<\/p>\n Join our new WhatsApp community<\/a> and receive your daily dose of Mirror<\/a> Football<\/a> content.
