Arne Slot gave a sharp response when asked for an update on Liverpool's move for Jeremie Frimpong.
The Bayer Leverkusen right wing-back has agreed a five-year deal with the Reds but they still need to activate his £29.5million release clause and announce the completion of his medical.
He will replace Trent Alexander-Arnold, who was left on the bench for Liverpool's 3-2 defeat at Brighton on Monday night and looked forlorn at full-time - even though fans partied in the away end.
Conor Bradley has started the last two games and will stay at the club to battle for his place with Frimpong after signing a contract extension until 2029.
