Liverpool are confident that a deal for Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong will be finalised in the coming days, with preparations already underway to schedule a medical, according to GiveMeSport.
The potential signing of Frimpong marks a significant step in Liverpool’s summer transfer strategy, as the club look to strengthen key areas ahead of the new season.
Reds boss Arne Slot, fresh off securing the Premier League title, is keen to reinforce his squad with top-quality talent.
Liverpool will be busy this summer
In addition to Frimpong, the Dutch manager has already secured the services of goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia for a fee of up to £29 million, with the deal done in August last year.
The decision to pursue Frimpong is largely influenced by Trent Alexander-Arnold’s announcement that he will leave Liverpool as a free agent after opting not to sign a new contract.
With the English right-back leaving the club this summer, the Reds will need a top class right-back to replace him and his attacking quality.
The reason they are going after Frimpong is because he is a player who is equally good in attacking positions as he is in defensive aspect of the game.
With five goals and 12 assists this season for Bayer Leverkusen, Frimpong has shown his attacking and creative quality, something that Slot would need next season in the absence of Alexander-Arnold.
Jeremie Frimpong signing is just days away
The Reds are confident about triggering the defender’s release clause soon and they have already started preparations of his medical ahead of the move.
It appears like it is only a matter of time before the Reds can wrap up a deal for the Bundesliga star.
In terms of other defensive additions, Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez is Liverpool’s primary target to provide competition to Andy Robertson in the left-back position.
As far as attacking additions are concerned, Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman is on the club’s radar this summer.
