Liverpool’s plan for Jeremie Frimpong revealed with Bayer Leverkusen wing-back to be played in new position

ARNE SLOT has a bold tactical plan for Jeremie Frimpong if Liverpool can get a deal over the line. The Premier League champions will be in the market for a Trent Alexander-Arnold replacement this summer as he heads to Real Madrid. GettyJeremie Frimpong is linked with a move to Liverpool[/caption] Bayer Leverkusen star Frimpong is supposedly the club’s top target at right-back. The 24-year-old has a release clause worth around £33million but an agreement is still some way off. But shock reports from Sky Germany claim Frimpong might not play the same role as Alexander-Arnold. The Dutchman plays as an incredibly forward-thinking right-wing-back under Xabi Alonso. And Liverpool “plan to use him on the right flank in an attacking role – similar to his position at Leverkusen.” It is unclear if this means Slot is planning a formation change to a back three or whether the setup will remain the same on paper with a tactical tweak. Alexander-Arnold often drifts into central midfield, while Frimpong is more comfortable overlapping. He has even played as a conventional winger in the past and he could get a run of games there while Mo Salah is away with Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Slot is set to go on a spending spree this summer as the club also want a centre-back, left-back and striker. The boss is set to be handed Liverpool’s biggest ever transfer budget.
