Jeremie Frimpong Joins Liverpool in £29.5m Move – A Speedy New Era Begins
Liverpool have made a statement with the signing of Dutch right-back Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen for £29.5 million, and let me tell you—it’s a big one. This is not just about replacing Trent Alexander-Arnold, who’s off to Real Madrid. This is about injecting serious pace, energy, and attacking intent into Arne Slot’s squad.
Frimpong is electric. He’s now officially Liverpool’s fastest player, clocking in at a blistering 36.34 km/h during the Bundesliga season. That’s faster than Luis Diaz and even quicker than many Premier League speedsters. But it’s not just top speed—he made over 1,000 sprints in the 2024/25 season. This guy doesn’t stop running. He’s relentless, and that’s exactly the kind of profile Slot is building around.
And let’s not overlook his personality. Frimpong isn’t your typical, media-trained player. He’s full of joy, fun-loving, and brings a fresh vibe that fans are going to adore. He once complimented a reporter’s pink jacket live on air and pulls off goal celebrations that go viral for all the right reasons. But beneath that playful surface is a seriously committed professional.

Born in Amsterdam, raised in Manchester, Frimpong is no stranger to English football. He came through the Manchester City academy, then shone at Celtic before making his name in Germany with Leverkusen. There, he played a key role in ending Bayern Munich’s Bundesliga dominance, helping Xabi Alonso's side win a historic double. In 53 games last season, he was a consistent performer, even scoring in the final game of the campaign.
He’s not just pace—he's productive. Frimpong has 23 Bundesliga goals to his name and brings versatility, having played as a full-back, wing-back, and even in midfield. His attacking mindset makes him a unique threat from the right flank.
With Trent’s departure, Liverpool fans may have been worried. But the arrival of Frimpong feels like the beginning of an exciting new chapter. And he won’t be alone in adapting—he joins a growing Dutch core at Anfield with Virgil van Dijk, Cody Gakpo, and Ryan Gravenberch already settled in.
Oh, and just so you know, this is just the beginning of what could be a wild summer at Anfield. Liverpool are already deep in talks with Bayer Leverkusen over Florian Wirtz in a deal worth more than £100 million. The ambition is clear.
Frimpong’s five-year deal is a clear sign: Liverpool are not just preparing for life after Trent—they're preparing to evolve. Whether he wears the number 30 shirt again or not, one thing’s for sure—Jeremie Frimpong is going to be hard to miss.
