Liverpool’s latest signing Jeremie Frimpong had just sealed his dream move to Anfield. But even before he could unpack his boots, a very special fan had already rolled out the red carpet — in his own unique way.
Seven-year-old Isaac Kearney, a passionate Liverpool supporter, is known across the fanbase for his joyful videos and love for the club.
Born with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome, Isaac faces many health hurdles. But his spirit — and support for the Reds — never fades. He has gone viral for singing Liverpool chants with his toy guitar and even got to meet stars like Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk.
So when Frimpong’s transfer from Bayer Leverkusen was confirmed, Isaac jumped right in with a warm message on social media.
“Welcome to Liverpool @JeremieFrimpong lad!!! 👊🏻 GET INNNNNN 😬,” Isaac tweeted, along with a short video clip.
How Jeremie Frimpong respond to Isaac Kearney?
Frimpong didn’t take long to respond. The Dutch international, who has signed a long-term deal with Liverpool, replied:
“Thank you for the warm welcome, Isaac ❤️”
In a summer filled with headlines, this one stood out. While Frimpong’s pace and flair will be key on the pitch, it’s this simple moment off it that truly scored with the fans.
The 24-year-old arrives after a title-winning season in Germany in 2023/24 and as runners-up in 2024/25, where he played a key role in Leverkusen’s success over the past two years.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot sees him not just as a replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold, who has left for Real Madrid, but as a versatile player who can fill multiple roles, even helping out during Salah’s absence for the Africa Cup of Nations.
But before tactics and formations, Frimpong’s first win was this wholesome exchange with Isaac — a reminder that sometimes, football’s most beautiful passes don’t happen on the pitch.
