“Official announcement expected soon – Liverpool ready to unveil first signing of the summer.”

Jeremie Frimpong Transfer to Liverpool Set for Official Confirmation

Liverpool are on the verge of announcing Jeremie Frimpong as their first signing of the summer, with Fabrizio Romano confirming that the deal is fully agreed and signed. The Dutch international has impressed throughout his career, particularly during his standout spell at Bayer Leverkusen.

Given Frimpong’s rise and Liverpool’s urgent need for a new right-back following Trent Alexander-Arnold’s departure, this move comes as no surprise. Romano reports that the transfer is essentially complete, with only the formal announcement pending.

“The Jeremie Frimpong deal is signed and sealed, with an official statement expected imminently.”

Liverpool will pay €35 million for Frimpong—an excellent deal considering Alexander-Arnold is leaving on a free transfer. The 23-year-old’s offensive approach makes him a strong fit for Liverpool’s style, as he aims to fill the void left by Trent.

At Leverkusen, Frimpong thrived in an attacking wing-back role, contributing both goals and assists as the club claimed the Bundesliga title in 2023/24. While Alexander-Arnold’s unique skill set will be difficult to replicate, Frimpong may be the closest Liverpool could get.

Reds journalist Peter Kenny Jones told CaughtOffside:
“Trent’s exit raised emotional questions among fans, but the real issue is the massive talent we’re losing. Frimpong has a major task ahead—especially with Conor Bradley also in the squad. However, Bradley’s injury history made it necessary to bring in another option.”

“Frimpong offers creativity in a different way than Trent did, and the potential partnership with Mo Salah is something to watch. He’s not the most defensively solid full-back, which adds some risk to the move—but at €35m, it’s excellent value. After winning the league, we should trust Arne Slot, Richard Hughes, and the recruitment staff.”

More to Come from Leverkusen?

Liverpool may not be done shopping at Leverkusen. Florian Wirtz is also reportedly close to joining the Reds, with CaughtOffside understanding that the German playmaker has turned down multiple offers in favor of a five-year deal at Anfield.

The chemistry between Wirtz and Frimpong at Leverkusen was key to their title-winning season, and Liverpool could now be set to reunite that duo for the upcoming campaign.
