Liverpool has identified Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong as a leading candidate to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is set to leave the club on a free transfer at the end of the season. The newly crowned Premier League champions are expected to strengthen their right-back position in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Frimpong’s Profile & Transfer Details
- Current Club: Bayer Leverkusen
- Age: 24
- Position: Right-back
- Release Clause: €35 million (£29.6m), which can be triggered this summer.
- Previous Interest: Manchester United had shown interest in Frimpong last year.
Frimpong was one of Leverkusen’s standout performers last season, contributing 12 goals and seven assists across all competitions. This season, he has continued his strong form with four goals and eight assists.
Liverpool’s Right-Back Options
Liverpool already has Conor Bradley as an option at right-back, but the club is keen to reinforce the position following Alexander-Arnold’s departure. Frimpong’s attacking prowess and defensive stability make him a strong contender for the role.
Frimpong’s Connection to Liverpool
Interestingly, Frimpong revealed that Liverpool was his first choice before joining Manchester City’s academy. However, logistical challenges led him to opt for City instead.
With Liverpool looking to secure a long-term replacement, Frimpong’s arrival could mark a new era for the club’s defensive lineup.
