Liverpool fans couldn't contain their excitement at seeing what one of their top transfer targets posted after they were crowned Premier League champions.
The Reds thrashed Spurs 5-1 in front of their home fans at Anfield to claim a second Premier League title and a record-breaking 20th title overall.
Arne Slot became the fifth manager to win the Premier League in his first season in the top flight, joining the likes of Jose Mourinho, Manuel Pellegrini, Carlo Ancelotti and Antonio Conte.

After a stellar season, Liverpool achieved the feat with four games to spare and did so with their own supporters in attendance following the COVID-19 pandemic disrupting their celebrations in 2020.
Fans will be able to ride the euphoric feeling of victory for weeks before they lift the Premier League title at home to Crystal Palace on May 25.
But the Anfield faithful have been given another reason to be excited. Following the destiny of the Premier League title being confirmed, Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez weighed in on the win.
The 21-year-old has been one of the top performers in his position and has been heavily linked with Liverpool, who are on the hunt for a new left-sided defender with Andy Robertson not getting any younger.

Kerkez was happy to see his international teammate Dominik Szoboszlai make history by becoming the first Hungarian to win the Premier League.
But instead of adding on a comment on his pal's post, Kerkez composed his own on X - writing: "You deserve it my friend,love," accompanied by a picture of the two.
Szoboszlai reacted with two emojis but the post from Kerkez was met with a flurry of responses from Liverpool fans, who think he will be moving to Merseyside to join his compatriot.

One fan on X wrote: "Next season you win it together."
A second said: "You can be the second Hungarian to win the league brodie."
A third added: "See you soon."
A fourth commented: "You will get your medal next season lad."

Kerkez cost Bournemouth £15.5 million in 2023 and according to The Times, the Cherries will demand around £45 million for the former AC Milan player.
