Liverpool have Jeremie Frimpong in their sights to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold should the English defender leave.
According to Football Insider, Jeremie Frimpong could emerge as Liverpool’s top target next summer to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold. The English defender is the subject of considerable interest from Real Madrid next summer, as Frimpong’s attacking attributes do make him the closest replacement in the market.
Liverpool is facing an uncertain period regarding the situation with Trent Alexander-Arnold, as his future lies in the balance. The 25-year-old is into the final year of his deal and has not indicated extending his stay at boyhood club Liverpool, as he could potentially leave on a free transfer next summer.
Alexander-Arnold wants to see if the club can match his ambitions, as he recently stated winning trophies is a driving force ahead of him in deciding his future. Liverpool have been in the challenge for significant honours in recent times, and he’s probably waiting to see if new boss Arne Slot has the drive to take the team to the next level.
Real Madrid are in constant dialogue with his camp, as per multiple reports, meaning Liverpool face a massive task to convince the right-back against the lure of the Spanish giants. As things stand, his future remains undecided, and it will probably drag until the end of the current season for a decision to come out.
In any case, Liverpool are already busy identifying replacement options as they also retain an interest in Jeremie Frimpong. The 23-year-old league winner with Bayer Leverkusen was the subject of considerable interest from many clubs. Still, it is believed he decided to stay put following the renewal of manager Xabi Alonso.
Liverpool identifies Frimpong as Alexander-Arnold’s replacement
It will take a lot for Liverpool to find the ideal player in the market to replace Alexander-Arnold, given the Englishman’s influence in this squad. Frimpong, who primarily plays as a wing-back, has the attacking prowess to match the current Liverpool star, meaning the club might consider him the replacement for him given his attacking attributes.
There are still doubts about Frimpong from the defensive standpoint, although he has time on his hands to develop into a top-rated right-back. For now, he seems like one of Liverpool’s key targets to replace Alexander-Arnold, but only time will tell whether they make the move for the Dutchman.
