This one looks like it’ll be over the line soon. Since news broke on Tuesday about links between Liverpool and Jeremie Frimpong, the developments have come in swiftly. As the sun rises over Europe to signal the start of a new day, transfer journalists have graced us with updates on Liverpool FC’s pursuit of Bayer Leverkusen’s Dutch international.
First up is Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg.
Jeremie #Frimpong and Liverpool are on the verge of reaching a verbal agreement. Talks are progressing, with additional details still being clarified. #LFC
Frimpong is ready for the move to Liverpool – also because Arne Slot is very keen to sign him.
It’s looking good,… pic.twitter.com/401Fssr8Nh

This is one of those transfers that looks like a no-brainer to everyone involved. The player is keen, the fee is superb and offers tremendous value, and there’s a positional need for him. I would say get it done, Dick Hughes, but it looks like he’s already ahead of me. Salah’s new right-flank running mate may just give opposing defences another huge headache to deal with.
