Jeremie Frimpong signing shows Liverpool are “doubling down” in the transfer window

Jeremie Frimpong has been announced as a Liverpool player and supporters have been reacting with excitement at the 24-year-old’s potential to be a versatile option for Arne Slot.

Having agreed terms before the end of the Premier League season, Frimpong has finally been announced as a Liverpool player and will join officially on June 1.

The right-wing back arrives with Liverpool having triggered his release clause of £29.5 million, a fee many believe is a bargain for such a talented player.

While he is known as a right-back by trade, he is best suited to playing as a flying wing-back and could even feature in an advanced right-sided position for Liverpool as a potential backup for Mo Salah.

With Frimpong ready to take the next step in his career, having signed a five-year deal, supporters have been reacting to the Dutchman’s signature.

“Such an exciting player, I literally cannot wait to see him terrorise defenders. Imagine being a left back coming up against Salah and Frimpong! Wow!”

“Cracking signing! Covers all the right side. Welcome Frimpong”

“Looking at his stats and wow, what a player. Potential replacement for Mo?”
Jota The Slotter in the This is Anfield comments

“We maybe paying €130m for Wirtz but are atleast saving €30/40m in Frimpong! What a lad we are getting him like Robbo and Macca as steal”
King MJ in the This is Anfield comments

“£30 million is good business”

While it will still be some time before we see Frimpong take to the pitch in a red shirt, Liverpool fans should be able to keep an eye on him as he plays for the Netherlands.

Ronald Koeman’s side play Finland on June 7 before facing Malta in Groningen on June 10, though UK television coverage is still to be confirmed.
