Elite Arrival: Jeremie Frimpong Lands in UK to Finalize Liverpool Transfer
Jeremie Frimpong is now on Merseyside as his long-anticipated move to Liverpool edges closer to completion. The transfer, which has been an open secret for weeks, is expected to be confirmed soon, with Reds fans eagerly awaiting the official announcement.
Fabrizio Romano gave his trademark “here we go” update on the Bayer Leverkusen right-back nine days ago, signaling that the deal was essentially done. Since then, Frimpong has reportedly passed his medical, and Sky Sports confirmed on Tuesday that the Dutch international has arrived in the UK to finalize the remaining formalities.
Official Announcement Imminent?
According to Lewis Steele of the Daily Mail, Liverpool could unveil Frimpong as early as this Sunday, coinciding with the official opening of the summer transfer window. The deal is believed to be worth approximately £30 million, widely viewed as excellent value for a player of Frimpong’s caliber.
Frimpong’s imminent arrival could be just the beginning of a flurry of summer activity at Anfield. Liverpool are also reportedly closing in on Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez, potentially securing three major signings before mid-June.
Liverpool Moving Quickly Under New Management
Just weeks after the conclusion of the 2024/25 season, new sporting director Richard Hughes and manager Arne Slot are wasting no time. Landing a marquee name like Frimpong at the very start of the window would be a clear statement of intent from the reigning Premier League champions.
Frimpong is expected to take over from Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is departing the club. Slot will now have two dynamic options at right-back in Frimpong and Conor Bradley, providing flexibility and depth heading into a demanding season.
Crucially, finalizing the signing early would allow Frimpong to join Liverpool for pre-season preparations, giving him time to adapt and integrate after his international commitments — a luxury the club lacked with late transfers last year.
All signs point to Liverpool kicking off their summer window with precision, ambition, and a plan firmly in motion.
