Jeremie Frimpong has reportedly completed the initial phase of his medical examination with Liverpool after arriving in England on Sunday.
The Bayer Leverkusen right-back has become a leading transfer target for Liverpool this summer, and the move now appears to be close to finalization.
With Trent Alexander-Arnold set to leave the club on a free transfer, Liverpool seem to have acted swiftly to secure a replacement.
According to Sky Sports, Frimpong has already undergone part of his medical following his weekend arrival. It’s even possible that the Netherlands international has now finished the full medical process.
Frimpong Set to Fill Alexander-Arnold’s Role
Replacing Alexander-Arnold won’t be easy, but Frimpong appears to be an ideal candidate to take over on the right flank.
While losing such a pivotal player is a significant setback, Liverpool seem to have made a smart move by targeting Frimpong—who offers a similarly dynamic presence going forward.
The 24-year-old featured predominantly as a wing-back for Leverkusen and enjoyed an outstanding 2023/24 campaign, netting 14 goals across all competitions.
Time will tell if Frimpong can produce similar numbers at Anfield, but his profile suggests he could be a strong fit under new manager Arne Slot.
Arne Slot Stays Tight-Lipped on Frimpong Rumors
Following Liverpool’s loss to Brighton, Slot was questioned about the potential signing of Frimpong. However, he chose not to confirm anything publicly.
Given the complexity of such deals and the potential for unexpected delays, Slot’s cautious stance is understandable.
Nevertheless, if all goes to plan, it seems only a matter of time before Liverpool officially unveil Frimpong as their newest addition.
