Arne Slot, Liverpool’s new Dutch manager, has personally called Jeremie Frimpong. As per reports on Caught Offside, he’s not just interested—he’s keen. Frimpong, the 24‑year‑old Bayer Leverkusen star, is seen as the ideal man to fill the void left by Trent Alexander‑Arnold next season.
Liverpool have barely spent since appointing Slot—only bringing in Federico Chiesa and Giorgi Mamardashvili (who joins this summer).
Yet, as they surge atop the Premier League by 12 points with nine games left, Slot needs reinforcements. Right-back is now center stage alongside targets in attack and defense.
Frimpong’s contract includes a release clause near €35 million (£29.5 million). Liverpool are prepared to trigger it, and make him their first signing of the summer under Slot according to the report.
His energy, directness, dynamism, and dribbling offer a new dimension down the right flank.
He was a driving force in Leverkusen’s unbeaten Bundesliga and DFB‑Pokal double in 2023‑24 and maintained high output with five goals and eight assists this season. That consistency raised eyebrows across Europe.
Liverpool face a crossroads: Stoke with midfield creativity or a right-back who looks more like a winger. Frimpong is neither traditional nor defensive—he thrives on forward bursts, chance creation, and high risk-reward runs.
Slot must decide if his system needs a wing-back or a technician to come deep.
Fans will feel urgency. The window won’t wait. If New boss Slot fumbles, momentum fades. But if he nails Frimpong—he ignites belief, energy, and purpose.
This isn’t just about replacing a legend. It’s about setting a new course.
