Liverpool have reportedly increased their efforts in tracking Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong.
Jeremie Frimpong Not a Replacement, But a Different Weapon
Liverpool are considering their options in the market for right-back possibilities, and Jeremie Frimpong’s name has been the one at the top of the list. However, many worry about his defensive abilities. He is doing a great job at his role as an attacking wing-back at Bayer Leverkusen. So, a £30 million release clause makes him a great option.
But here’s the thing, the Dutch defender isn’t being eyed as a straight-up right-back replacement. Instead, the Reds may view him as a versatile, all-action player. He brings pace, flair, and goal threat down the right flank.
In a setup where structure is balanced by attacking firepower, the Dutch’s presence could offer a tactical edge. Especially, in matches where Liverpool need more pace from wide areas.
Bradley Is the Future at Anfield
The head coach Arne Slot reportedly sees Conor Bradley as his first-choice right-back moving forward to the next season. The 21-year-old player has over 50 appearances for the PL champions so far. He has 23 international caps for Northern Ireland as well. He is a mix of defensive talent and attacking intent. That also includes assists against top sides like Real Madrid and Fulham. That marks him as a great long-term option for the Reds.
Slot even likened him to Achraf Hakimi for his energy and overlapping play. The youngster is set to be the man in that role. Alongside him, signing Jeremie will offer depth on the wing. He can play higher up the pitch when needed, or play in attacking formations.
This approach allows the Reds to keep building their team around their young core. Also, they will be adding extra tools for different match situations.
