Arne Slot has already decided where he wants to play Jeremie Frimpong after Liverpool hold talks – journalist

All signs that suggest that Jeremie Frimpong could be Liverpool’s first offering to Arne Slot in the summer transfer window.

Frimpong is keen on joining Liverpool as well and he looks set to become their heir to Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is closing in on a move to Real Madrid.

Much like Alexander-Arnold, the Dutchman is more renowned for being a threat in the final third rather his defensive capabilities — which would make the succession plan a logical one from the Reds’ standpoint.

With Jeremie Frimpong having won the Bundesliga at Leverkusen and rubbed shoulders with the best of the best in the Champions League, it is unlikely that he might be overawed by the prospect of playing for Liverpool.

Liverpool admire Frimpong’s versatility and believe that he is the ideal candidate for them to bring in and compete for a starting spot with Conor Bradley as well.

However, the only question amongst the Anfield faithful will be about where Arne Slot plans to deploy the 24-year-old.

Slot loves Frimpong but often, it is difficult for managers to get the best out of such tactically multi-faced players.

However, Arne Slot is a man with a plan, with journalist Florian Plettenburg claiming that he intends to play Frimpong as a wing-back if he signs for Liverpool.

Frimpong, who nearly joined Liverpool as a youngster has made his name at Bayer Leverkusen as a wing-back.

Liverpool have analysed the former Manchester City defender’s game “in detail” and Arne Slot is a fan of his profile.

While the Reds believe that the Dutch international could prove to be a brilliant successor to Alexander-Arnold.

Perhaps Arne Slot could change his system and play three centre-backs as Frimpong could play as a high-flying wing-back at Liverpool.

The signs look positive for the Premier League champions when taking a peek at the Amsterdam-born speedster’s stats as a wing-back.

Frimpong has been a revelation as a wing-back under Xabi Alonso, with his searing pace, eye for a pass, smart runs in behind and willingness to run beyond defences making him an expert in the role.

Liverpool cannot afford to stay stale tactically and perhaps Arne Slot’s intention is to keep his opponents guessing by tweaking his system next season.
