Jeremie Frimpong, Leverkusen’s star right wing back is eyed by the Reds, who look looking him as a long term replacement for Alexander-Arnold. The Dutch defender has been one of Europe’s most impressive wing back players. And last season he was the key reason behind Leverkusen’s invincible run. For this reason, Liverpool is working hard to secure the services of Frimpong.
Journalist Christian Falk has revealed that Frimpong’s agent, Dirk Hebel, was at Anfield for the Bayer Leverkusen-Liverpool clash. This visit fuels the ongoing rumors of a possible deal.
Frimpong, whose contract has a release clause of โฌ40m (ยฃ33m), is thus one of the most interesting candidates for the Reds. Dutch nationality may also put him in good stead with new head coach Arne Slot at Liverpool.
Frimpongโs Journey and Why He Fits Liverpool
Born in Netherlands and joined Man City‘s academy at the age of seven. Frimpong had spent over ten years in England, so by now he was very confident and ready to play for any EPL team.
From City, Frimpong moved to Celtic, where he has been enjoying first team action. He moved to Leverkusen in 2021 after an impressive display of football in Scotland. In Germany, Frimpong is among the best attacking right backs in Europe.
Known for his pace, ball control, and final third delivery, Frimpong would fit well into Liverpool’s dynamic style. Having roots in the EPL and being versatile, he could easily transition back into English football.
The Reds are not only searching for defensive stability but someone who can replicate Trent’s offensive impact. Frimpong’s profile ticks all the boxes and is an ideal target.
An Impressive Performance at Anfield
During his recent appearance at Anfield, Frimpong has proven his worth. He scored a brilliant goal but was disallowed after he accidentally handled the ball. His performance, though, will not be forgotten easily by Liverpool’s management and fans.
The 24-year-old is a complete package because he can attack and defend well. His familiarity with English football, having spent years in Man City’s academy and later playing for Celtic, further strengthens his case.
Why Liverpool Need Frimpong
Liverpool is not sure about their key players, such as Trent, Van Dijk, and Salah. There are talks with them to retain them. However, Liverpool needs to prepare for their possible exits.
Frimpong could be a vital signing, especially if Trent leaves. His pace, work ethic, and attacking flair align perfectly with Liverpool’s style. He is also 24 and thus a long-term solution.
Fans React to Frimpong Rumors
Liverpool fans are very divided about this potential signing. While some think him to be an ideal replacement for Alexander-Arnold in case the star full-back leaves, others feel it is a signal that Liverpool lack confidence in retaining the current players.
One fan wrote on social media, โFrimpong is amazing, but losing Trent would be a huge blow.โ Another added, โItโs good to see Liverpool planning for the future. Frimpong is top-notch!โ
While thereโs excitement, many hope the club focuses on retaining its current stars before signing new ones.
Conclusion: The Road Ahead
Liverpool have more work to be done before agreeing on terms with Jeremie Frimpong. He could light up the team with attacking prowess as well as solidifying the defence. His coming might come in handy in alleviating pain from the potential loss of Trent if that happens.
For now, Liverpool are cautious. Whichever way this may go, the news surrounding Frimpong’s rumoured move to Anfield has brought a lot of excitement among supporters and opened up a lively debate in the football world.
Anyway, lets see where this potential transfer saga takes us. But if this move happens, it may further ensure Liverpool’s dominance for another few years ahead in EPL. As that is the kind of talent and skill set Frimpong brings along with him. And that is what makes him one of the best in the world.
