The last city derby between the two Merseyside clubs is scheduled for tonight at Goodison Park, but it appears like the hostility may intensify off the ground as well. Despite having a stable group full of talented players and a good start to his tenure as manager of Liverpool, Arne Slot has obviously showed his hand when it comes to his favourites this season. In addition, a few players may go because of contracts, and when the season is over, he will have a better idea of his team and will probably want to bolster it in the summer.

Cho, a former Everton youth player who is now playing well for Nice in France, is one guy who may come. He has a solid football background, having played for Angers, Real Soecidad, and now Nice before the age of 22.
