Liverpool announce Jeremie Frimpong as Alexander-Arnold replacement | OneFootball

Liverpool have wasted no time in replacing Trent Alexander-Arnold by announcing the signing of Jeremie Frimpong.

Frimpong leaves Bayer Leverkusen after four years having been a key part of their title-winning side in 2023/24.

The Netherlands international played over 100 times in the Bundesliga for Leverkusen and also won the DFB-Pokal during their historic double.

Frimpong returns to English football having come through the ranks at Manchester City and pens a five-year deal at Anfield.

Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com for the first time, Frimpong said: “It went quite easy. Liverpool came and said they had interest, and obviously for me it was a no-brainer.

“For me, it was like, ‘Whatever you guys do, just get this done’, [speaking to] my agents: ‘Just get this done.’

“Liverpool fans, I’m going to give my all, my energy, my work-rate and hopefully we can win together, we celebrate together, get everything together.

“I’m just excited to be here. Thank you guys for accepting me and I won’t let you guys down and I’ll give you the energy that you guys want.”

Earlier on Friday it was confirmed that Alexander-Arnold would join Real Madrid on June 1 with Los Blancos paying €10m to sign the defender for this summer's Club World Cup.
