“I’ve heard he’s there, yeah,” Slot told media.

The Dutchman then took a moment to reflect on the long road to Premier League glory.

“Proud and special, but I think proud sums it up the most," he said. "After working here for a year now, I know how hard it is to win - it’s the hardest trophy to win. Because cup trophies you can, doesn’t have to be, but you can win those by a lucky draw, penalty shootout, and all of a sudden, you arrive in the final.

"But it’s always harder to win the league because it’s 38 games in a period of time where the league has never been as strong as it is. Never been so much competition even for teams to go into the Champions League. Never been a season when 16 and 17th in the Premier League play in a final against each other in the Europa League. That’s what makes it so hard. Definitely a proud moment for me, the players and also the fans. Let’s hope it will be special."
