Jeremie Frimpong set for Liverpool medical on Monday ahead of summer move from Bayer Leverkusen | Football News
Liverpool are close to completing a deal to sign Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen, with the player set to fly to the UK for a medical on Monday.
Frimpong, whose release clause stands at €35m (£29.5m), has told Leverkusen he wants to leave the Bundesliga club and the Reds have met his release clause.
Liverpool boss Arne Slot highly rates the right-back, who can also play as a winger.
The Netherlands international was a key member of the Leverkusen team that won the German domestic double last season.

Celtic have a sell-on clause which could be worth about £5m.
Leverkusen signed Frimpong from Celtic in a deal worth up to £11.5m in January 2021.
Frimpong moved from Manchester City’s academy to Celtic for £300,000 in September 2019.
Sky Sports News had previously reported the defender would be happy to move to Anfield if the club decided to sign a right-back to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold this summer.
Alexander-Arnold has announced he will leave the club when his contract expires on June 30.
Conor Bradley, 21, is ending the season as Liverpool’s first-choice right-back as they plan for the future without Alexander-Arnold.
