Liverpool is about to complete a deal to sign Jeremy Frimpon from Leverkusen, the player will fly to the UK for a medical examination on Monday.

Frimpon's termination clause is €35m (£29.5m), and he told Leverkusen that he wanted to leave the Bundesliga club and the Reds had already met his termination clause. Liverpool coach Arn Slott highly praised the right-back, who can also play as a winger. The Dutch international is a key member of Leverkusen, which won the German domestic double last season.

Celtics have a term for sale that may be worth about £5m. Leverkusen signed Frimpon from the Celtics in January 2021 with a deal worth up to £11.5m. In September 2019, Frimpon transferred from Manchester City's youth camp to the Celtics for £300,000.

Sky Sports News previously reported that the defender would be happy to transfer to Anfield if the club decides to sign a right-back this summer to replace Trent Alexander Arnold. Alexander Arnold announced that he will leave the club after his contract expires on June 30. Connor Bradley, 21, will finish the season as Liverpool’s top right-back as they prepare for a future without Alexander-Arnold. Slott: It's hard to strengthen our squad with the end of the Premier League title three weeks ago, speculation has begun on what aspects Liverpool will strengthen their squad in preparation for new challenges from teams like Manchester City and Arsenal. Before Monday’s game against Brighton, Slott said in Sky Sports that adding their roster would be tricky, admitting he also had to find a way to retain marginal players who had barely played this season.

"I have said it a lot, as a club, we are very happy with the players we have," he said. Liverpool coach Arn Slott discusses who can replace Liverpool's Trent Alexander Arnold. Liverpool coach Arn Slott, after being asked about Frimpon, discussed who could replace Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold

"Part of the reason is our decision, but in some cases, players who don't play frequently do not expect not to play frequently next season." "So, there is always a continuous process, and if we can strengthen the roster, we have to make sure we are ready."

"But it's difficult to strengthen this team. We won the league title for a reason because we have a lot of great players. "It's a continuous process, and we're talking about it." I think this club has proven many times in the past that they will make the right decision. “We also made the right decision this season, not bringing in a player at all, except Federico Chiesa [£10m] , which works very well. "

Analysis: How Frimpon replaces Alexander Arnold in Liverpool Peter Smith: "Trent Alexander Arnold and Jeremy Frimpon are one of the top players in their respective positions in the world football, but they are very different players with very different styles. If Liverpool signs the Dutchman this summer, he can change their offensive plans.

"Alexander Arnold is famous for his series of passes, sending the ball into the penalty area or crossing, putting his team in a dangerous position, while Frimpon keeps his team forward on the court through his runs and dribbling. "

" statistics illustrate this point, and the comparison between direct passes and extraordinary people of two players in the past two seasons is worth noting. During this period, Alexander Arnold completed 16 passes, while Frimpon had only 2. However, the Dutch have tried 168 steals, while Alexander Arnold has only 82.

"This difference can also be seen in the pair's heat map. While Alexander Arnold often does a lot of work in deeper areas, it's a feature of Arne Slott's tactics this season, with his full-back sometimes staying in the back, Frimpon looks like he'll catch the ball or take the ball to the frontcourt.

"Of course, Frimpon has served as the right-back for Xavi Alonso at Leverkusen, and from this higher position he's able to contribute a lot of goals and assists. "The heat map of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jeremy Frimpon shows their different roles in Liverpool and Leverkusen. "How does he need to adapt to his role in Liverpool is an interesting question? "Mohamed Salah this season talks about how Slott has eased many of his defensive responsibilities. So, will Salah play a more central role if Frimpon enters those right-wing areas? "Liverpool needs to adapt with Alexander Arnold's departure. Frimpon will give them the opportunity to play in different ways as they hope to defend their Premier League title next season.
