Jeremie Frimpong is set to sign for Liverpool in the summer transfer window.
Indeed, Frimpong is close to joining Liverpool, and the Reds believe they can get a deal done in the coming days.
Jeremie Frimpong arrives at Liverpool with a few exciting pre-existing relationships, the right-back grew up in Manchester, so he’s close to home, while he already knows Virgil van Dijk and Ryan Gravenberch from international duty.
Interestingly, Frimpong has also already made a claim about one important figure at Liverpool before he’s even arrived.
Indeed, LeBron James is a minority shareholder at Liverpool and plays a big part in the Reds’ reach in the USA.
However, recently, Frimpong made a claim about LeBron James that may not go down well with the NBA star.
Jeremie Frimpong’s LeBron James verdict
Before Frimpong was set to sign for Liverpool, the right-back did a ranking video of NBA stars on TikTok.
One of the biggest debates in NBA history centres around LeBron James and Michael Jordan as fans have hotly debated which player is the greatest of all-time.
LeBron James’ case for being the best basketball player ever is strong, but Frimpong picked Michael Jordan ahead of the LA Lakers star.
LeBron James will certainly be excited by the prospect of Frimpong arriving at Liverpool, but he may want to have a little word about this particular point of view.
Jeremie Frimpong is a huge NBA fan
Frimpong may be a footballer, but he certainly knows his stuff when he speaks about basketball.
Indeed, Frimpong is a huge NBA fan, and just last year he commented on the trade between the LA Lakers and Dallas Mavericks involving Luka Doncic and Antony Davis.
On top of that, Frimpong also gifted his teammates NBA-style rings after winning the Bundesliga last season.
Now, Frimpong is set to join Liverpool, and he may well be a bit starstruck if he ever gets the chance to meet LeBron James via his stake in the Anfield outfit.
Frimpong believes LeBron James is the 2nd best NBA player ever, and the NBA star may well want to set the record straight once the defender arrives at Anfield.
