Liverpool identify Jeremie Frimpong alternative - who has played under Arne Slot - as Bayer Leverkusen express frustration at talk of move

Liverpool are considering Lutsharel Geertruida as an alternative option to Jeremie Frimpong as they intensify their summer recruitment drive.

Frimpong, the Bayer Leverkusen right back, has indicated that he would want to come to Anfield if Liverpool want to pursue a move and the fact he had a release clause would make this an attractive deal for a player of his undisputed quality.

Frimpong's name has been heavily trailed to this point as a potential replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold but Fernando Carro, Leverkusen's Managing Director, is unhappy about the level of speculation.

'Jeremie Frimpong has a long contract with us, which also has an exit clause, but we are currently unaware of any transfer,' Carro stressed.
