An interaction between Ryan Gravenberch and his Netherlands teammate while on international duty has got people talking as Liverpool continue to be linked with the player.
Liverpool are preparing for an active summer transfer window, according to Sky reporter Florian Plettenberg, as Arne Slot looks to “reshape” his current squad with a number of departures and new signings.
Caoimhin Kelleher, Wataru Endo and Harvey Elliott are mentioned as potential departures alongside Federico Chiesa and Diogo Jota, while a host of talent have been tipped to join the Reds.
One of those players is highly-rated Bayer Leverkusen defender Jeremie Frimpong, the 24-year-old full-back who has established himself as a regular under Xabi Alonso at the BayArena.
In fact, the Reds are said to be in ‘regular contact’ with the £33 million-rated Netherlands international, according to German publication Sport Bild, after Slot spoke warmly of signing the player last summer.
Amid ongoing speculation around Frimpong’s future, a clip from the Netherlands camp ahead of their Nations League double-header against Spain has got people talking.
As you can see from the footage below, Frimpong delivered his best scouse accent as he welcomed Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch. He could be heard saying: ““You alright, la?”
Moments later, the full-back embraced Reds captain Virgil van Dijk.
Here’s how fans on social media reacted to the scenes.
One said: “Yeah he’s coming isn’t he,” while another commented: “Frimpong practicing his scouse accent for a summer move to Liverpool.”
A third wrote: “Either he’s signed for us or he’s absolutely taking the piss out of Liverpool,” and a fourth said: “If Trent leaves then we need to get him.”
A fifth added: “I can see the welcome video starting with this already.”
Earlier this week, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano provided an update on Frimpong’s current situation as he continues to be linked with a summer move.
“Jeremie Frimpong remains one to watch in the summer, one more goal and assist performance on Sunday,” he wrote on X. “Dutch RB could leave Leverkusen in the summer with many clubs interested. The clause into his contract is worth fee around €40 million.”
As mentioned above, Frimpong is attracting interest from a number of clubs, including Manchester United, Real Madrid and Barcelona.
