With Trent Alexander-Arnold on his way out of the club this summer, the Reds are moving fast to sign his replacement in the summer transfer window.

Frimpong has emerged as one of the greatest wing-back

Frimpong has emerged as one of the greatest wing-back or right-back in recent times and will be a great addition to Arne Slot’s team and will be a perfect replacement for Trent, who is Madrid bound and will leave this month. 

However, Conor Bradley is also a great contender for the right-back position and will be tested highly by Frimpong for the position. 

Jeremie Frimpong

Arne Slot usually prefers Dutch players in the Liverpool team as already Van Dijk, Gravenberch, Cody Gakpo, etc., meaning Frimpong might be preferred by him.

He has also displayed great versatility as he has also played in the right wing position and some game as a striker as well. He is a great outlet for attacking and defending as well. 

Plettenberg posted the update on his X account:

“Understand Liverpool are seriously pursuing Jeremie Frimpong. Advanced talks have already taken place.

“Following detailed analysis and due to his availability, he is currently one of the top options for LFC to potentially replace Trent Alexander-Arnold.

“Frimpong is planning to move this summer. The 24-y/o right wing-back can leave Leverkusen in the summer thanks to a release clause set at around €35–40m.”

The 24-year-old Dutch international has been an impressive performer in the Bundesliga since joining Leverkusen.

His stats impress with 190 outings in German football

His stats impress with 190 outings in German football, highlighted by a Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal cup double in the unbeaten domestic season of 2023/24.

Die Werkself just played their last home fixture of the current campaign on Sunday, where Frimpong not only scored but also celebrated with his manager, who has declared his upcoming departure at season’s end.

“Lived it. Loved it. Farewell, Coach [love heart emoji],” he penned as a tribute on his personal Instagram page.
