It would be great to join Liverpool – Bayer Leverkusen defender Jeremie Frimpong

Published on: 21 February 2024

Ghanaian defender Jeremie Frimpong has reiterated his desire to join English Premier League outfit Liverpool.

Frimpong is one of the most-sought after players following his outstanding performance for Bayer Leverkusen in the ongoing German Bundesliga campaign.

He is reportedly on the radar of Manchester United, Real Madrid and other clubs in Europe after exhibiting top performance this season.

The talented right-back has made 21 appearances, scoring seven goals, and providing six assists in the Bundesliga.

The former Celtic star continues to be a key contributor for Bayer Leverkusen, significantly impacting the team's success. Leverkusen maintains the top spot in the Bundesliga with 58 points, eight more than defending champions Bayern Munich.

Liverpool are in the market searching for a new coach to replace Jurgen Klopp, who has decided to end his spell with the club at the end of the season.

According to reports, the Reds are seriously considering Xabi Alonso, who has been outstanding with Leverkusen to take over the club, and it seems as though Frimpong would be interested in following his current chief to Anfield.

Asked by Ziggo Sport whether he would want to make the move to Liverpool as well, Frimpong said: “A great club, with history. That would be great. Who knows what the future will bring?”

Frimpong came through the academy at Manchester City but never actually played for Liverpool’s Premier League rivals before being sold to Celtic in 2019.

He spent 18 months in Scotland before joining Leverkusen in 2021, and has now firmly established himself as one of Europe’s most exciting young right-backs under Alonso’s tutelage.
