Dutch midfielder Jeremie Frimpong played a major role for Bayer Leverkusen last season, scoring 14 goals and providing 12 assists in 47 games as the team won the Bundesliga without losing a game.
He has been a regular in Xabi Alonso’s side this season and has started most of the games.
Previous interest from Liverpool has been reported for the 24-year-old midfielder. Christian Falk, a German journalist, reiterated that this is the case and revealed that the player’s agent is in talks with officials at the Anfield side.
“Liverpool’s interest in Jeremie Frimpong has been confirmed again,”
“I heard that his agent, Dirk Hebel, was invited by Liverpool for the match against Bayer Leverkusen. He was in the director’s box. So, you see the club and the player’s entourage are talking.”
“Frimpong has a release clause valued at €40m [£33m] and he’s also Dutch like their new head coach, Arne Slot. So, they’re working on this deal as well,”

It is said that the Dutch midfielder is being looked at in case England defender Trent Alexander-Arnold leaves the team, but considering his size, it is sceptical whether he would be a good defensive option in the Premier League.
If anything, he gives the impression of being more of a right winger, showing his strength in a position closer to goal, but will he make the step up from the Bundesliga next summer…?
