Liverpool are on the verge of completing their first signing of the Arne Slot era, with Jeremie Frimpong set to undergo a medical on Monday, May 19. The Dutch international will join from Bayer Leverkusen in a deal worth €35 million, following the activation of his release clause.

Frimpong, 24, will sign a contract until 2030, marking a major step in Liverpool’s summer rebuild. The official Frimpong transfer announcement is expected before the club’s final Premier League match of the season against Crystal Palace at Anfield.

Direct Replacement for Alexander-Arnold

Frimpong arrives as a direct replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is reportedly set to complete a sensational free transfer to Real Madrid. The departure of the long-serving right-back has made Frimpong’s role even more vital in Slot’s evolving system.

Frimpong brings Premier League experience from his youth development at Manchester City’s academy, making him a homegrown player under league regulations. His return to England comes after an exceptional spell in Germany, where he was a standout performer in Xabi Alonso’s title-winning Leverkusen side.

What Frimpong Brings to Liverpool

Known for his blistering pace, overlapping runs, and attacking output, Frimpong has tallied an impressive 30 goals and 44 assists in 190 appearances for Leverkusen. His versatility also allows him to operate further forward as a wing-back or winger when needed.

Slot, who closely followed Frimpong’s development in the Bundesliga, personally pushed for the transfer. The Dutch coach sees the full-back as a perfect fit for his high-intensity, width-driven tactical approach.

Bradley’s Role Secured

Despite Frimpong’s arrival, Conor Bradley remains central to Liverpool’s future. The 21-year-old recently signed a new contract until 2029, solidifying his position as a key rotational option. Both players are expected to compete and share duties across multiple competitions.

Looking Ahead

Frimpong’s signing is a clear statement of intent by the new Liverpool regime. With Arne Slot starting a fresh chapter and fans eager to see change, landing a dynamic right-back with elite European pedigree sets the tone.

Assuming his Liverpool medical proceeds without issue, the Frimpong transfer announcement could kick off a busy summer at Anfield.
