Dutch-Ghanaian full-back Jeremie Frimpong to undergo Liverpool medical

Liverpool are set to make their first signing of the summer transfer window, with Bayer Leverkusen right-back Jeremie Frimpong expected to undergo a medical at the club.

The 24-year-old is poised to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is widely tipped to join Real Madrid on a free transfer when his contract expires at the end of the season.

Frimpong, who has Ghanaian heritage but represents the Netherlands at international level, is reportedly set to join the newly crowned Premier League champions on a five-year deal.

According to The Athletic, Liverpool have triggered the £35 million release clause in his contract with the Bundesliga side, paving the way for his switch to Anfield.

The move is seen as a significant part of Liverpool’s summer plans, as the club aims to strengthen its squad after securing the Premier League title this season.

Frimpong’s attacking prowess and defensive solidity have made him one of the most sought-after full-backs in Europe, with his pace and dribbling ability fitting well with Liverpool’s style.

Frimpong’s anticipated arrival marks the beginning of what is expected to be a busy transfer window for Liverpool, as they look to build on their domestic success and prepare for the UEFA Champions League next season.
