Jeremie Frimpong Undergoes Initial Medical Ahead of Liverpool Move
Jeremie Frimpong has reportedly completed the first phase of his medical with Liverpool after arriving in England on Sunday, signaling progress in what appears to be a near-complete transfer.
The Bayer Leverkusen right-back has become a top summer target for the Reds as they prepare for life without Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is set to leave on a free transfer.
According to Sky Sports, Frimpong began medical examinations over the weekend, and it’s believed he may have already finished the full process by now.
Frimpong Set to Fill Alexander-Arnold’s Void
Replacing a figure like Alexander-Arnold won’t be easy, but Liverpool seem to have moved quickly to secure a strong successor.
Frimpong, known for his explosive pace and attacking threat, had a standout 2023/24 season, scoring 14 goals while operating largely as a wing-back.
The 24-year-old Dutch international appears well-suited to Arne Slot’s system and could provide a new dimension to Liverpool’s right flank.
Slot Silent on Transfer Talk
After Liverpool’s recent loss to Brighton, manager Arne Slot was asked about the Frimpong transfer but declined to offer confirmation, likely due to the deal still awaiting official announcement.
These kinds of transfers often involve lengthy processes and can face unexpected delays, so it makes sense that Slot is being careful not to confirm anything prematurely before the club makes it official.
That said, assuming everything goes smoothly, it looks like it’s only a matter of time before Liverpool formally announce Frimpong’s arrival.
