Liverpool have earmarked Bayer Leverkusen star Jeremie Frimpong as a potential replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold, according to Sky Sport CH.
The Reds are bracing for the departure of Alexander-Arnold. The right-back's contract expires at the end of the season and he is expected to leave on a free transfer.
Alexander-Arnold is in advanced negotiations with Spanish giants Real Madrid and he is poised to sign a pre-contract over the coming days.
Amidst this, the Reds are working behind the scenes on a replacement. They are keen on landing Frimpong from Leverkusen this summer.
Reds boss Arne Slot is a huge admirer of the Netherlands international, who has already made 15 goal contributions from right wing-back this term.
His attacking attributes would make him an ideal successor for Alexander-Arnold. He could make the right-back position his own next season.
Frimpong has a release clause worth £34 million in his contract. Liverpool could be willing to pay more to Leverkusen for an early agreement.
