Liverpool has a clear replacement for Alexander Arnold: Signing of 40M

Liverpool already has its sights set on their new right-back and is in the final stages to secure the signing of Jeremie Frimpong, the current player from Bayer Leverkusen, who emerges as the main bet to fill the spot left by Trent Alexander-Arnold. According to Fabrizio Romano, negotiations between both parties are advanced, and the deal could be closed in the coming days if everything goes as planned.

The English club has taken action to negotiate not only the payment of the €40 million release clause with the German team but also the distribution of the transfer's financial terms. On the other hand, the Dutch footballer has shown a clear willingness to join the project of the new coach Arne Slot, who will have the task of shaping a competitive eleven during a phase of renovation at Anfield.

Liverpool Wants to Sign Jeremie Frimpong

Frimpong is an offensive-minded full-back, accustomed to penetrating the opponent's area with an uncommon goal-scoring ability for his position. His vertical and explosive style has made him one of the most dangerous pieces of Leverkusen, where he played a key role in the historical season of the team led by Xabi Alonso.

However, his addition to Liverpool also raises questions, especially in the defensive aspect. His offensive vocation is undeniable, but his solidity at the back does not compare to the player he is replacing. Slot will need to adjust the system to cover those shortcomings or enhance his attacking strength as the main asset from the right flank. In any case, the move is shaping up to be one of the first bold decisions of the new Reds' era.
