**Elite Defender Frimpong Nearing Liverpool Move as Reds Set Tone for Summer Business**
Liverpool fans are on high alert as Jeremie Frimpong’s long-anticipated transfer to Anfield appears to be entering its final stages. The Bayer Leverkusen right-back has been linked with a switch to the Merseyside club for several weeks, and now, all signs point toward the official announcement being just around the corner.
Trusted football journalist Fabrizio Romano gave his well-known “here we go” confirmation nine days ago, signaling that the deal was essentially sealed. In transfer circles, Romano’s update is widely seen as a near-certain indication that the paperwork is all but finalized. Since then, it has emerged that Frimpong has successfully completed his medical assessments. On Tuesday, Sky Sports reported that the 24-year-old had arrived in the UK and touched down on Merseyside, where he is expected to put the finishing touches on the transfer.
According to Lewis Steele of the *Daily Mail*, Liverpool is likely to unveil Frimpong as early as Sunday — the same day the summer transfer window officially opens. The total fee for the Dutch international is believed to be in the region of £30 million. Should the announcement come on the weekend, it would represent a statement of intent from Liverpool’s new sporting director, Richard Hughes, who appears to be acting decisively and efficiently in the early days of the transfer period.
In addition to Frimpong, the Reds are reportedly closing in on deals for Bayer Leverkusen playmaker Florian Wirtz and Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez. Securing all three signings before mid-June would mark a highly proactive start to Liverpool’s summer recruitment and allow incoming head coach Arne Slot to begin his preparations with a reinforced squad well ahead of pre-season.
Frimpong’s impending arrival is particularly significant given recent developments at right-back. With Trent Alexander-Arnold rumored to be departing the club, Liverpool would be transitioning smoothly into a new era by adding Frimpong to the ranks. Alongside emerging talent Conor Bradley, Slot would have strong depth and competition on the right flank of defense.
Unlike the last-minute additions of previous transfer windows, completing this deal early would allow Frimpong to benefit from a full pre-season with his new teammates. After returning from international duty, he’d have valuable time to adapt to the squad’s dynamics, tactics, and expectations — a luxury not all new signings enjoy.
For Liverpool, announcing Frimpong’s capture the moment the window opens would not only excite supporters but also send a clear message to domestic and European rivals alike: the Premier League champions are not resting on their laurels and are determined to build on last season’s triumph.
