It's very rare that someone signs two players from the same club in the same transfer window.
Of course, it's happened in the past. Even at Liverpool. Under Brendan Rodgers, the Reds raided Southampton bringing in Adam Lallana, Dejan Lovren and Rickie Lambert.
That was in a response to needing to replace Luis Suarez, who departed for Barcelona. On paper it was a brilliant move and in the end, Lallana and Lovren both ended up having successful careers at Anfield. Meanwhile, Lambert fulfilled a lifelong dream.
But this summer is a different level. Liverpool are going to be signing two players from Bayer Leverkusen who are two of the best players in their positions in world football.
Jeremie Frimpong is one of the best right-backs in the world. Meanwhile Florian Wirtz is one of the best attacking midfielders and probably one of the best players in the world in general.
The two of them have been extremely successful at Leverkusen. They went unbeaten in the Bundesliga during the 2023/24 campaign.
Now they are both going to continue their careers at Liverpool in a much better team. But just what will they bring to the team together as a duo?
In the last two seasons, Wirtz has made 68 goal contributions for Leverkusen. Frimpong on the other hand has made 43 goal contributions in the same period.
That's 55.5 goal contributions per season on average for the last two campaigns between the pair of them and 111 goal contributions in total.
Liverpool have already scored goals for fun this season. Adding these two to Slot's squad is going to make the Reds an unstoppable force.
In his career, Frimpong has combined for a goal eight times with Wirtz, which is the third highest among any of his teammates.
They've played 149 matches in total and have lost just 27 games while they were both on the pitch. Incredibly in the last two seasons, they've played 89 matches and have lost just six games.
Frimpong is the better of the two when it comes to providing assists. He's assisted seven of Florian Wirtz's goals, often being able to find him from crosses like the one shown below from the right flank with the German international running into the box from the left.
