Fabrizio Romano says Liverpool are now so close to signing £35m player
The season isn’t even over and Liverpool are about to make their first signing of the summer.
Indeed, the Premier League ch𓄧ampions aren’t wasting any time in getting to work in this transfer window, and their first arrival is almo��st sealed.
Florian Wirtz has been linked to Liverpool, bu🐽t it’s another star from the Bundesliga who could soon be Anfield bound.
Jeremie Frimpong has been linked to Liverpool recently, and according to Fabrizio Romano, that deal is now entering its final stages as the Re꧋ds look to tie this move up as they aim to bring in their Trent Alexander-Arnold replacement.
Jeremie Frimpong to Liverpool enters final stages
According to Fabrizio Romano, Jeremie Frimpong’s mo🐎ve to Liverpool has now entered the final stages as a move looks set to be complete shortly.
Liverpool need a new right-back as Trent 𝓀Alexander-Arnold is set to join Real Madrid, and now, it appears as though they’ve got their man.
Frimpong is a shrewd addition, at £35m, he’s not a bank-breaker, while he also has the added benefi♕t of being a homegrown player who should have🌼 no problems settling in the north west of England as he grew up in Manchester.
Jeremie Frimpong compared to Trent Alexander-Arnold
Frimpong will arrive at Liverpool as a key replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold, and comparin🌠g these two players statistically makes for interesting reading.
Alexander-Arnold and Frimpong🦂 clearly have different styles, as the numbers show.
| Trent Alexander-Arnold | Jeremie Frimpong | |
| 32 | Games | 33 |
| 3 | Goals | 5 |
| 6 | Assists | 5 |
| 1.6 | Key passes per game | 0.9 |
| 3.8 | Long balls per game | 0.4 |
| 2.2 | Tackles per game | 1 |
| 1 | Interceptions per game | 0.2 |
Frimpong, much like Alexander-Arnold, is very attack-minded, as shown by his goals and assists this season, but, as the numbers show, he attacks in a very di♎fferent way.
While Alexa꧃nder-Arno𓃲ld is a playmaker who has been compared to David Beckham, Frimpong doesn’t have the same passing abilities, as shown by his number of long balls🔯 and key passes.
However, what Frimpong does have is blistering pace and directness, and that causes its own problems for any oppositi𒐪on.
Worryingly, Alexander-Arnold also has better defensive stats than Frimpong, despite the fact the England star has often been criticised for his defending.
It remains to be seen how Frimpong geꦡts on at Liverpool, but it would a🎀ppear he will be wearing the famous red shirt next season.
