Liverpool head coach Arne Slot is reportedly in direct contact with Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong, as the Reds prepare for life without Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The England international is expected to join Real Madrid on a five-year contract, leaving Slot to find a suitable replacement.
Frimpong’s Impressive Form
Frimpong, 24, has been in impressive form for Leverkusen, contributing to 69 goals in 182 matches.
His attacking prowess and defensive skills make him an attractive option for Liverpool, who are keen to strengthen their right-back position.
Slot’s Pursuit of Frimpong
Slot is said to be determined to sign Frimpong, who still has three years left on his Leverkusen contract.
The Dutchman’s direct contact with Frimpong suggests that Liverpool are serious about securing his services.

However, the Reds will likely face competition from other top European clubs.
Frimpong’s Suitability for Liverpool
While Frimpong’s attacking qualities are undeniable, there may be concerns about his ability to adapt to Liverpool’s playing style.
The 24-year-old’s best work comes as a wing-back, and he may need to adjust to playing as a pure right-back.
Nevertheless, Frimpong’s talent and potential make him an exciting prospect for Liverpool.
Alternative Options
If Liverpool are unable to secure Frimpong’s signature, they may consider alternative options.
Givairo Read, an 18-year-old right-back from Feyenoord, has been linked with a move to Anfield.
However, his inexperience may make him a less appealing option.
