The Athletic journalist David Ornstein has reported that Bayer Leverkusen right-back Jeremie Frimpong would be keen on joining Liverpool should the Merseyside club make a move for him. The Reds have had Frimpong on their radar since last year.
On Monday, Trent Alexander-Arnold confirmed that he will leave the Reds at the end of the season. In the aftermath of the news, reports have claimed that Liverpool are chasing Frimpong as a replacement for the Englishman.
Speaking on NBC Sports, Ornstein suggested that Frimpong could be available on the market this summer and noted that the Dutch defender would be open to joining the 2024–25 Premier League champions. He said (via Empire of the Kop):
Jeremie Frimpong has been a key player for Leverkusen this season. He has featured in all matches across competitions for the Bundesliga side, barring one.
Arne Slot’s side will need to start preparing a replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold after he leaves the club in the summer. Alexander-Arnold has been a key figure for the Reds since he was promoted to the senior team in 2016. He has maintained his starting position in the ongoing season under Arne Slot despite his imminent exit.
According to Liverpool Echo, Conor Bradley will be given the opportunity to stake his claim as a regular starter in the right-back position next season. Just like Alexander-Arnold, Bradley is a product of Liverpool’s youth team.
The 21-year-old has featured in a few games for the Reds this season, mostly coming on as a substitute for Alexander-Arnold. He was promoted to the senior team in 2023 and has played 26 matches across competitions for Slot’s side this term.
An ardent Chelsea fan, Ezekiel’s journey as a football fan began in his childhood, witnessing Ronaldinho dazzle with his skills. His interest in the beautiful game deepened after Nigeria were knocked out of the 2010 FIFA World Cup; he was impressed with the Super Eagles’ fighting spirit in their 2-2 Group B draw against South Korea. Some other World Cup matches which have left a deep impact on him were Belgium’s incredible comeback against Japan in the round of 16 of the 2018 version and the 2022 final.
Lionel Messi is the one true GOAT for Ezekiel and he also follows the Major League Soccer and the Saudi Pro League owing to him and Cristiano Ronaldo. When not writing, he spends his free time deepening his SEO knowledge and watching skits.
