Chris Sutton has claimed that it feels like Mohamed Salah's time at Liverpool is 'coming to a natural end', as he insists the next manager to succeed Jurgen Klopp will have a squad that is capable of winning the Premier League.

Liverpool suffered a major setback in the title race on Wednesday evening after they were beaten 2-0 by their city rivals Everton at Goodison Park. Klopp's players cut dejected figures at full-time, with the German manager seemigly conceding the title race in a press conference after the match.

While Arsenal sit three points clear of the Reds at the top of the table, Man City have a game in hand and can leapfrog Liverpool to go within one-point of Arsenal with a win against Brighton on Thursday.

Meanwhile, speculation is mounting that Feyenoord boss Arne Slot has emerged as the leading candidate to take over from outgoing manager Klopp this summer and could be set to inherit a squad that is laden with exceptional talents and a crop of emerging young stars.

But, on Thursday's episode of 'It's All Kicking Off!', Ian Ladyman posed the question of whether Klopp's squad are capable of winning the Premier League next season, with Sutton giving his verdict on Liverpool's squad.

'Liverpool are in talks with the Feyenoord coach Arne Slot to replace Klopp. Compensation figures already being discussed. Talks ongoing today,' Ladyman said to Sutton.

'It's moving some way down the line. He is now the clear favourite. Presumably it is him or whoever it is, does the new Liverpool manager have a squad as it stands to win the Premier League next year?'

'I think, this is only my opinion. I don't know your opinion. I think, it feels like a natural end for Mo Salah,' Sutton replied.
