Arne Slot wants Liverpool to sign a £33.8m-rated winger who is one of the quickest players in Europe, according to a recent report.
The Reds finished third last term and returned to the Champions League in Jurgen Klopp’s final season in charge.
Now, Slot will begin his reign with the aim of assembling a squad capable of challenging for the Premier League title
To do that, he’ll need to be backed and it seems he’s identified a right winger.
Liverpool interested in Jeremie Frimpong
According to Sport Bild, Liverpool are ‘very interested’ in signing Bayer Leverkusen winger Jeremie Frimpong this summer.
The 23-year-old enjoyed a phenomenal season for the Bundesliga champions, netting 14 times whilst laying on 12 assists across all competitions.
The Netherlands international has predominantly operated as a right midfielder but can play as a conventional right-back.
Frimpong, who is one of the quickest players in Europe, has a £33.8m release clause in his contract – which is set to attract interest from a number of suitors.
Liverpool are seen as a concrete destination for the former Celtic man.
Liverpool face competition
Liverpool face fierce competition for Frimpong’s signature, with Bayern Munich and Manchester United among the interested parties.
Frimpong, who graduated through the Manchester City academy, may be tempted to return to Manchester, though, Liverpool should have the advantage with Champions League football on the horizon.
Bayern have made contact but are reportedly ‘hesitant’ to make an official offer, so at this stage, it’s a two-horse race.
A telling window awaits.
