Liverpool FC is actively pursuing signings for both right-back and left-back positions, according to sources from CaughtOffside.
The Reds are in a precarious situation, potentially losing Trent Alexander-Arnold to a free transfer, as the England international’s contract at Anfield draws to a close.
As earlier reported, Liverpool has set its sights on Bayer Leverkusen’s right-back Jeremie Frimpong as a suitable replacement for Alexander-Arnold, with discussions already underway.
Liverpool achieves a significant contract breakthrough!
Frimpong has emerged as one of the top attacking full-backs in the game while at Leverkusen, making him a prime candidate to fill Alexander-Arnold’s shoes should he depart.
Additionally, Liverpool is also exploring options for a left-back, even though this does not currently appear to be as pressing a need for the club.
Liverpool’s Interest in Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez
Liverpool is targeting Frimpong for their right flank while simultaneously showing interest in Bournemouth’s left-back Milos Kerkez. The young Hungarian international is viewed as a potential long-term replacement for the experienced Andrew Robertson.
Kerkez has made a significant impact at Bournemouth and is likely to attract major interest, with Manchester United also monitoring his situation.
Both Frimpong and Kerkez are regarded as exceptional full-backs who could significantly enhance Liverpool’s squad, providing young talents for the club to build around for the future.
Nevertheless, the primary focus will likely remain on retaining Alexander-Arnold, as the 26-year-old is a crucial asset for Arne Slot’s side.
Alexander-Arnold is world-class and will undoubtedly attract interest from numerous top clubs, raising questions about whether a talent like Frimpong could truly fill the void he would leave behind.
The Dutchman has been a pleasure to watch at Leverkusen, but the transition to the Premier League may present its own challenges.
