Ben Jacobs provides Liverpool fans with instant antidote to Reds defeat with Frimpong update | OneFootball

Liverpool are now one huge step closer to completing the signing of Jeremie Frimpong.

At around the same time that the Reds conceded what turned out to be a match-deciding goal from Brighton’s Jack Hinshelwood at the Amex Stadium, one reliable journalist was proving Kopites with an immediate antidote to the on-field result.

The transfer of the Bayer Leverkusen right-back has been on the cards for several days, and it now seems to be simply a matter of when it’ll be officially announced.

Frimpong passes Liverpool medical

Just before 9:45pm on Monday night, Ben Jacobs took to X with some fantastic news for Liverpool fans.

In a simple statement, the journalist reported that Frimpong has now passed his medical ahead of his impending transfer to the Premier League champions.

The summer transfer window doesn’t open until 1 June, so the Netherlands international won’t officially become a Liverpool player until then, but we can probably expect a formal announcement from the Merseyside club in the coming days that the signing has been completed.

The move could reportedly cost the Reds just under £30m, a bargain for a 24-year-old Bundesliga winner with ample high-level experience in Europe and blistering pace from the flanks, not to mention a tremendous attacking output (28 goals and 35 assists in the past three seasons).

It represents a magnificent coup on Richard Hughes’ part, only a few weeks after he oversaw two-year contract extensions for Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk, and it gives the Premier League champions a huge early win at the start of the summer.

Trent Alexander-Arnold was notably left on the bench for the entirety of the defeat to Brighton tonight, a signal that Arne Slot has already moved on from the departing vice-captain and is rightly looking to the future.

Keep an eye out for that official announcement from the club, Reds fans…Jeremie Frimpong will soon be a Liverpool player!
