Stan Collymore discusses the recent transfer buzz surrounding players like Dean Huijsen and Jeremie Frimpong in his column for CaughtOffside. He notes the exceptional rise of Huijsen, highlighting the rarity of young talents moving directly from the Premier League to elite clubs like Real Madrid, marking a shift in football dynamics. Collymore also emphasizes Liverpool's need for a new right-back, endorsing Frimpong as a suitable replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is expected to leave. His insights reflect the changing landscape in football transfers and player aspirations.
In the past, it would often be the case that someone like Dean Huijsen would move to a top six club in England, spent 2-3 years there before joining a Real Madrid or Barcelona.
Nobody can begrudge him making that move over joining someone like Chelsea or Liverpool.
Jeremie Frimpong would be an excellent signing for Liverpool. I think it is necessary for Liverpool to sign a new right-back this summer with Trent leaving.
...it would not surprise me if he made a similar move in the coming years, as I'm sure there are big clubs in Spain that would want to hire him.
