Premier League
Liverpool already has its sights set on a new right-back and is in the final phase to secure the signing of Jeremie Frimpong, the current player of Bayer Leverkusen, who is seen as the main bet to fill the spot left by Trent Alexander-Arnold. According to Fabrizio Romano, talks between both parties are advanced, and the deal could be completed in the coming days if everything goes as planned.
The English club has started negotiations with the German team not only for the payment of the release clause, valued at 40 million euros, but also for how the financial terms of the transfer will be distributed. On his part, the Dutch footballer has shown a clear willingness to join the project of the new coach Arne Slot, who will have the task of shaping a competitive eleven in a renewal phase at Anfield.
Liverpool Wants to Sign Jeremie Frimpong
Frimpong is an attacking full-back with explosive projection, accustomed to entering the opponent's area and with an unusual goal-scoring ability for his position. His vertical and explosive style has made him one of the most dangerous pieces of Leverkusen, where he has played a key role in the historic season of the team led by Xabi Alonso.
However, his addition to Liverpool also raises questions, especially defensively. His offensive nature is undeniable, but his defensive solidity does not compare to the player he is replacing. Slot will need to adjust the system to cover those shortcomings or enhance his attacking strength as the primary weapon from the right flank. In any case, the move is shaping up to be one of the first strong decisions of the new Reds' era.
