Jeremie Frimpong has reportedly already had the first part of his medical tests with Liverpool after flying to England on Sunday.
The Bayer Leverkusen right-back has emerged as a top priority transfer target for Liverpool this summer, and it looks like a deal is edging closer to completion.
The Reds know they’re about to lose Trent Alexander-Arnold on a free transfer, so it makes sense that a replacement has been snapped up pretty quickly.
According to Sky Sports, Frimpong has already had part of his medical after arriving in England over the weekend.
By now, it may even be that the Netherlands international has completed all stages of his medical tests.

With Alexander-Arnold leaving, it’s hard to think of a better replacement on that right-hand side than Frimpong.
Although it will be a big blow to lose a key player like Alexander-Arnold, it looks like LFC have done well to snap up Frimpong, who is a similarly talented attacking outlet on that side of the pitch.
The 24-year-old mostly played as a wing-back for Leverkusen, and he even managed a hugely impressive total of 14 goals in all competitions in 2023/24.
It will be interesting to see if Frimpong can replicate that at Anfield, but he looks like he should be a good fit for Arne Slot’s side.
Arne Slot refuses to confirm Jeremie Frimpong transfer
Slot was asked about the Frimpong signing after Liverpool’s defeat to Brighton yesterday, but perhaps unsurprisingly he hasn’t confirmed anything just yet…
“Jeremie Frimpong, rumoured to have had a medical, true or not?”
“What do you think!”
