New Signing Jeremie Frimpong Discusses Emotional Liverpool Move | OneFootball

Jeremie Frimpong’s Hidden Move to Liverpool Delivers Joy and Belief in New Era

Liverpool’s summer rebuild continues at pace and purpose. With Trent Alexander-Arnold seeking new midfield pastures, the club has acted decisively. Jeremie Frimpong, one of the standout attacking full-backs in Europe, arrives from Bayer Leverkusen for a fee in the region of £30 million. That’s not just value on the balance sheet, it’s vision on the pitch.

At 24, Frimpong brings youth, versatility, and elite-level experience. His performances in Leverkusen’s title-winning campaign last season were defined by relentless energy and a final-third end product. Arne Slot’s team are not just buying cover. They’re buying into a profile that suits Liverpool’s current evolution: aggressive transitions, width from deep, and a hunger to compete on multiple fronts.

Surprising a Lifelong Red

In an age where transfer leaks are the norm, Frimpong managed something rare — keeping his Liverpool move secret from his own father. And this wasn’t just any father. A Liverpool fan through and through, his dad’s stunned reaction was a moment of pure footballing joy.

“Do you know, we actually surprised him. He’s a Liverpool fan, so when the rumours were coming I was like ‘ah dad, it’s not true. It’s not true,’” Frimpong told The Kop TV.

“But all the family members were less surprising. So, it got too much when Fabrizio [Romano] started talking, my dad’s not stupid, he was like ‘hey Jeremie, is it true?’ And I said, ‘alright dad’.

“I had to travel and my dad was in my house and he was asking too many questions. So then obviously I was like ‘dad I’m going to Liverpool to do my medical.’ And he was like ‘no, really?!’ and I was like ‘yeah I’m going to go and play for your team’ and he was like ‘no way!’ But it was a great reaction.”

These are the stories that football still thrives on. Beneath the tactical debates and the financial scrutiny, this game remains deeply personal.

Winning Mentality and Trophy Expectations

What separates Frimpong from the average full-back isn’t just pace and dribbling. It’s the mindset. He speaks with the kind of clarity and ambition Liverpool’s supporters have long embraced.

“For me I play football to win trophies. Everywhere I go I win trophies,” he said. “When I went to Celtic I won three, when I went to Leverkusen I won three, so now I want to win all of it. In England there’s four because there is two cups, FA Cup and Carabao Cup, but you have to dream big.”

Slot’s Liverpool are no longer a team in transition, they’re a title-holding side looking to consolidate their dominance. And in Frimpong, they may have secured a player who fits seamlessly into that vision. If history is any guide, silverware follows wherever he goes.

Liverpool’s Future in Frimpong’s Hands

The arrival of Jeremie Frimpong at Anfield is more than a tactical upgrade. It symbolises Liverpool’s belief in continuity and the next phase of their success under Arne Slot. At a modest fee for today’s inflated market, this could prove one of the sharpest signings of the window.

And if Frimpong continues his trophy-laden habit, Liverpool’s gamble will soon look like a masterstroke.
