Jeremie Frimpong tipped to reunite with former manager as Liverpool must tackle issue
Liverpool Echo reports that Jeremie Frimpong is being tipped to reunite with former Feyenoord manager Arne Slot at Liverpool. Frimpong, currently at Bayer Leverkusen where he has thrived in Xabi Alonso's system, previously worked under Slot in the Netherlands. The speculation comes amid concerns over Liverpool's right-back options, with Trent Alexander-Arnold's future uncertain as his contract winds down. The club is said to be evaluating the position as a priority area to strengthen in upcoming windows.
Read the full story at Liverpool EchoFrimpong offers an attacking, inverted full-back profile that fits Slot's positional-play philosophy. Leverkusen paid around €25m for him, but his market value has surged after a stellar Bundesliga and Europa League campaign, potentially pricing him at €40-50m+. Liverpool's right-back depth is a genuine concern given Alexander-Arnold's expiring contract and defensive vulnerabilities on that flank. If pursued, Frimpong would compete directly with or replace Trent, representing a significant tactical and structural shift in Liverpool's build-up patterns.
