🗞 #Liverpool have held talks with the representatives of Bayer #Leverkusen wing-back Jeremie #Frimpong, who is also wanted by Arsenal, Manchester City and Real Madrid. His release clause is worth £34m, but this will soon expire.

Frimpong is enjoying a superb season with Leverkusen, proving to be one of his side’s most important players in their relentless march towards Bundesliga glory. Primarily being used as a right wing-back by Xabi Alonso, the Dutchman has eight goals and seven assists to his name in the competition since August.

His manager has been full of praise for him too: “He has a very big impact on our game. He is a very good player, but for me is even a special player. It is logical that Louis Van Gaal gives him the chance because he is a difference player.”

Eventually, Liverpool are going to have to find a long-term replacement for the end product provided by Mohamed Salah, and while it would not be a like for like swap, Frimpong’s production could help fill the void.

He is a young player who has so much time to improve, and while not used as a forward at Leverkusen, he has shown that he has the attacking quality to move further up the pitch or chip in with goals and assists from the back.
