Liverpool, May 31: Liverpool have completed the signing of Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen, marking the club’s first marquee acquisition under new head coach Arne Slot. The 24-year-old Dutch international has signed a long-term contract after successfully completing a medical at the AXA Training Centre on Friday.

Frimpong joins the Merseyside club after an extraordinary season with Leverkusen, where he played a key role in their historic unbeaten Bundesliga title run and DFB-Pokal triumph. Over his four-and-a-half years in Germany, he amassed an impressive record of 30 goals and 44 assists in 190 appearances.

Speaking to Liverpool’s official channel, Frimpong expressed his excitement about the move:

“It went quite easily. Liverpool came and said they had interest, and obviously for me, it was a no-brainer. For me, it was like, ‘Whatever you guys do, just get this done,’ [speaking to] my agents. Liverpool fans, I’m going to give my all, my energy, my work-rate, and hopefully we can win together, celebrate together, get everything together.”

Frimpong’s performances under Xabi Alonso earned him back-to-back inclusions in the Bundesliga Team of the Season, underlining his attacking prowess and reliability on the right flank.

Born in Amsterdam, Frimpong began his career in Manchester City’s youth academy before moving to Celtic in 2019. He quickly rose to prominence in Scotland, helping Celtic secure a domestic treble before making his Bundesliga switch.

Internationally, Frimpong debuted for the Netherlands in October 2023 and has since earned 12 caps, scoring once. His speed, directness, and versatility are expected to be key attributes in Liverpool’s new tactical setup under Slot.

“I’m just excited to be here,” Frimpong added. “Thank you guys for accepting me. I won’t let you down.”

Frimpong’s arrival signals the beginning of a new era at Liverpool as the club looks to rebuild and contend for top honours under their new manager.
