"While Alexander-Arnold's exit was hugely controversial, it was clear a suitable heir was required. The Reds decided to waste no time whatsoever and pounced for one of the most highly-regarded attacking wide men in Europe. Jeremie Frimpong arrived from Bayer Leverkusen after a £30m release clause was triggered. He'd starred in Xabi Alonso's team the year prior, helping the Germans end Bayern Munich's stranglehold on the Bundesliga title and doing so unbeaten."
"Frimpong only made the hour mark of his Liverpool debut before pulling up with a hamstring problem. He missed wins over Newcastle United and Arsenal which saw Dominik Szoboszlai move into a makeshift right-back role and impress. The Dutchman hasn't been a regular starter since returning and has rotated with Szoboszlai and Conor Bradley. He has started the odd game on the right wing and his electric pace and excellent crossing seem the best aspects of his play."
Trent Alexander-Arnold left Liverpool after his contract expired and joined Real Madrid. Liverpool signed Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen by triggering a £30m release clause. Frimpong scored 30 goals and provided 44 assists in 190 appearances for Leverkusen and helped the side win the Bundesliga unbeaten. Frimpong suffered a torn ligament in February 2022 and later suffered a hamstring problem after an hour on his Liverpool debut. He has rotated with Dominik Szoboszlai and Conor Bradley and has started intermittently on the right wing. His electric pace and crossing are strengths, but repeated early substitutions and a 19th-minute withdrawal in the Champions League raise doubts over his availability.
