Liverpool nears £30m deal for Jeremie Frimpong as Alexander-Arnold successor

In the quiet churn of summer transfers, Liverpool appears to have found its answer to the question no one thought they’d be asking so soon: who follows in the footsteps of Trent Alexander-Arnold?

The club is on the brink of signing Jeremie Frimpong, the 24-year-old Dutch wing-back whose blistering runs and electric presence lit up the Bundesliga for Bayer Leverkusen.

The deal valued at just under £30 million is nearing completion, with Frimpong having reportedly completed the first stage of his medical on Merseyside.

The news was first echoed by Ben Jacobs and later reinforced by Fabrizio Romano, whose reliability in the transfer world has made his signature phrase “Here we go” a kind of ceremonial stamp.

His arrival signals not just a tactical recalibration but an emotional shift; the end of an era is always softened by the hope of a new one.

Liverpool, always methodical beneath its flashes of flair, is also said to be exploring options for the left-back position.

Veteran player Andy Robertson has been pointed out as a potential weakness in the Liverpool team. The board is reportedly considering Bournemouth's Milos Kerkez to replace Robertson on the left.
