Liverpool are reported to have finalised an agreement to sign Bayer Leverkusen right-back Jeremie Frimpong.
Trent Alexander-Arnold‘s impending departure has left the Reds short of cover at right-back but, once news of his exit was confirmed, they wasted little time in ramping up their negotiations with Frimpong.
According to , Liverpool and Frimpong have reached an agreement over personal terms, with a five-year contract on the table for the Dutch defender.
The final step for Liverpool was to contact Leverkusen to confirm their intention to trigger Frimpong‘s release clause, which stands at €35 million (£29.4 million, $39.1 million), and the Premier League champions are now understood to have done exactly that.
A medical is now being scheduled for Frimpong who, if all goes to plan, will have played his final game for Leverkusen on Saturday.
