In a significant move during this summer’s transfer window, Dutch international Jeremie Frimpong has landed in the UK via private jet to finalize his highly anticipated transfer to Liverpool FC. The 23-year-old right-back is set to join the Reds after they activated his £35 million release clause from Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen.
Frimpong enjoyed a stellar 2023/24 campaign under Xabi Alonso, playing a crucial role in Leverkusen’s historic league title win and their journey to the Europa League final. Known for his blistering pace, attacking instincts, and defensive strength, he’s quickly become one of Europe’s most exciting full-backs — and Liverpool moved swiftly to secure his services as they bolster their defense for the upcoming season.
A product of Manchester City’s academy and a former Celtic standout, Frimpong is currently undergoing his medical at Liverpool’s AXA Training Centre. An official announcement is expected within the next day. Reports suggest personal terms were finalized weeks ago, with the defender poised to sign a five-year contract running through to June 2030.
Frimpong’s addition is likely to impact Liverpool’s tactical direction under new head coach Arne Slot. With Trent Alexander-Arnold expected to transition further into a midfield role, Frimpong offers a natural and energetic option on the right side — potentially restoring balance and adding fresh dynamism to the squad as they aim for a strong resurgence across all competitions.
The transfer has sparked excitement among Liverpool fans online, who see Frimpong as an ideal mix of potential and experience — and a clear signal of the club’s ambitious post-Klopp era. If all goes smoothly, he could be officially unveiled as early as tomorrow, marking a bold statement from the Reds ahead of the new season.
