“Last summer’s sole summer signing, Federico Chiesa, has contributed nothing. Again, his lack of minutes suggests Slot does not believe the Italian is a game-changer.”
In the case of those players, Elliott featured in every matchday squad last season, resulting in 53 appearances, but that has been reduced to 16 and just 502 minutes of action.
For Endo, he totalled nearly 3000 minutes and 44 appearances but his 21 appearances resulted in an average of just 33 minutes per appearance.
Whilst Chiesa, their only summer addition, has been a bit-part player and used mainly in cup matches and failing to start a single game in the league.

Liverpool’s potential summer transfers
The ongoing contract situation with Van Dijk, Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold is continuing to bubble away in the background but there’s also potential for other players to exit.
Namely, Darwin Nunez. The Uruguayan has been an impact substitute for most of the season and frustration has grown over his finishing having missed a glorious chance to beat Aston Villa last time out.
Plus, there have been some resurfacing rumours about the future of Luis Diaz who may not be as trusted as others in Liverpool’s attack.
In previous windows, his father had spoken out about a desire for Diaz to play in Spain and Barcelona is being linked again, with Cody Gakpo outperforming him this season in that position.
