Former Liverpool star Peter Crouch has expressed concern over Feyenoord manager Arne Slot replacing Jurgen Klopp at the end of the season.

Mail Sport revealed on Friday that the two clubs have agreed a deal for Slot to make his debut Premier League bow at Anfield, while the Dutch side are set to receive up to £9.42m in compensation for their departing boss.

Slot was previously in the frame to join Tottenham last year before Ange Postecoglou was given the managerial role, but is now on the verge of being appointed as Liverpool's next dugout chief.

The Reds were previously favourites to replace Klopp with former player Xabi Alonso before the Spaniard decided to extend his stay at Bayer Leverkusen after winning the Bundesliga title.

Crouch has now revealed he expects it to be 'difficult' for the incoming Slot but praised the 45-year-old's style of 'heavy metal football'.
