Liverpool has made a significant decision regarding the future of their star right-back, Trent Alexander-Arnold, as they prepare for the possibility of his departure. The club is reportedly targeting Bayer Leverkusen’s standout right-back, Jeremie Frimpong, as the ideal replacement, should Alexander-Arnold decide to leave Anfield.

Frimpong, a 23-year-old Dutch talent, has caught the Reds’ attention with his remarkable offensive contributions, totaling 85 goal involvements (32 goals and 53 assists) across his career. His stats closely rival Alexander-Arnold’s tally, with Liverpool’s current right-back boasting 23 goals and 87 assists in his own career, making Frimpong an exciting prospect for Liverpool’s attacking ambitions.

Liverpool scouts have been keeping a close eye on Frimpong’s performances in the Bundesliga, even attending recent Leverkusen matches to evaluate him firsthand. Sources close to the club have indicated that manager Arne Slot is particularly eager about the potential acquisition, seeing Frimpong as a player capable of maintaining Liverpool’s offensive drive from the back.

The club may also offer Frimpong a lucrative, long-term contract to secure his services and ward off interest from other top-tier clubs, as Liverpool faces financial constraints that require swift action. With Real Madrid recently rumored to have pulled back from pursuing Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool is positioning itself to ensure a seamless transition at right-back, with Frimpong at the top of their wish list.

Liverpool fans and insiders alike are eagerly awaiting January, when further updates on Alexander-Arnold’s future could shape the club’s direction in the transfer market.
