Liverpool close in on £29.5m Jeremie Frimpong with wing-back VERY KEEN to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold - and deal could now progress quickly

Bayer Leverkusen wing-back Jeremie Frimpong would be very keen on a move to Liverpool should the Premier League champions decide to step up their drive to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold this summer.

The 24-year-old has a release clause of €35million (around £29.5m) in his contract at the German club and is highly expected to be on the move.

Frimpong is on Liverpool's shortlist and they like his profile should they decide to recruit in that position this summer.

Other names have also been considered but given the release clause, it could be one that moves quite quickly if the Reds decide to push forward.
