However, sports director Richard Hughes has dared to calm fears by saying that after Slot has had a chance to get to know the team completely, moves will be made\u2014just not anytime soon.<\/p>\n<p>A lot relies on how Liverpool\u2019s preseason plays out and whether Slot believes he has an urgent matter to attend to. Given that Virgil van Dijk, 33, is about to reach his contract\u2019s final year and Joel Matip is set to conclude his remarkable Redmen career this summer, central defense is the most likely position.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/image.zaly.online\/uploads\/image_66975017da649.webp\" alt=\"BRING HIM HERE: Liverpool locked in talks for \u00a334m 'MONSTER' who\u2019d make Trent unplayable in midfield\" \/>Despite Conor Bradley\u2019s immense talent, Liverpool may decide to recruit some additional quality on the right wing. Trent Alexander-Arnold is being drawn away from right back and toward the permanent grasp of the center of the park.News about Liverpool transfersThe Merseysiders are reportedly in negotiations with German Bundesliga winners Bayer Leverkusen over the potential acquisition of Jeremie Frimpong. This information was obtained via the Paisley Gates by the German daily Sport Bild (July 15 issue).<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/image.zaly.online\/uploads\/image_669750184b8c1.webp\" alt=\"BRING HIM HERE: Liverpool locked in talks for \u00a334m 'MONSTER' who\u2019d make Trent unplayable in midfield\" \/>The contract for the Netherlands international contains a \u20ac40 million (\u00a334 million) release clause, but it expires next week. As a result, FSG needs to decide quickly because a number of elite European teams are also interested in signing the player, who is eager to come to Merseyside.<\/p>\n<p>What Jeremie Frimpong would offer to Liverpool: A key player in Xabi Alonso\u2019s team\u2019s undefeated domestic run the previous season, Frimpong played with unrestricted freedom and finished with 14 goals and 12 assists in all competitions.<\/p>\n<p>Not bad going, with Beth Tucker of The United Stand hailing Frimpong as a \u201cmonster\u201d in the final third due to his lightning pace and unwavering passion in search of offensive success.Alexander-Arnold, who ranks among the top 1% of positional peers for shot-creating actions and passes attempted and the top 2% for progressive passes per 90, has unmatched ball-carrying ability, which he could very well capitalize on when \u2013 and indeed, if \u2013 placed in the engine room.<\/p>\n<p>Frimpong could flourish at the end of the game thanks to Alexander-Arnold\u2019s varied passing style and world-class precision when threading balls through. Premier League defenders would be unnerved by the consistency and speed of Alexander-Arnold\u2019s darting runs into danger.Talent scout Jacek Kulig has called Frimpong \u201cone of the best wing-backs in Europe.\u201d If he were to play in Slot\u2019s system, tearing down the wing while Alexander-Arnold pulled strings in the middle, Liverpool could create a partnership that would terrorize all of Europe.<\/p>\n<p>The Reds must act swiftly if his release clause is set to expire next week, or else they risk missing out on a fantastic chance to add a distinctive new offensive outlet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Liverpool supporters are terrified that this summer will see no major transfer deal, and they are living in a state of terror.
