Liverpool are ready to kick off the summer window with a bang — and Jeremie Frimpong is about to light up Anfield.
The Dutch right-back is expected to be officially unveiled as a Liverpool player on Friday, marking the first signing of the Arne Slot era, as per reports (via DAVEOCKOP).
After weeks of steady talks and smooth negotiations, the club has finalized terms with Frimpong and triggered his release clause from Bayer Leverkusen. The player arrived in the UK earlier this week to complete the formalities.
This move signals the beginning of what could be a busy few weeks for the Reds. Arne Slot is keen to shape the squad in his image, and Frimpong — an attacking full-back with pace and flair — is seen as a key part of that plan.
The 24-year-old will join a growing Dutch contingent at Liverpool, linking up with countrymen Virgil van Dijk, Cody Gakpo, Ryan Gravenberch, and now, his new coach.

Jeremie Frimpong & Trent Alexander-Arnold could happen on the same day
The announcement comes just before FIFA’s special transfer window for the revamped Club World Cup, which opens on June 1.
This short window runs until June 10 and gives clubs a chance to register players early for the mid-June kick off.
While Frimpong is preparing to say hello, another full-back may be saying goodbye.
Trent Alexander-Arnold’s move to Real Madrid could also be announced on the same day. According to The Times’ Paul Joyce, the deal is “expected to be completed rapidly,” with a Friday reveal likely. The timing couldn’t be more dramatic—Liverpool unveiling a new right-back while their long-serving one departs.
And while Liverpool are lining up more targets — like Milos Kerkez and Florian Wirtz — the focus today is on Frimpong and Trent. It’s a tale of two full-backs. One arriving. One leaving. And both shaping Liverpool’s future.
Outgoing deals are also expected soon. Darwin Nunez looks set to leave, while the futures of Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz, and Cody Gakpo remain unclear. In a summer of big change, Liverpool fans will be hoping the new signings hit the ground running soon.
