Tony Cascarino shares Jeremie Frimpong standout feature after Liverpool move
Liverpool have already gained the services of Jeremie Frimpong as Arne Slot gets underway with his summer transfer business.
Slot is wasting no time in the hope of getting the majority of his business done early, allowing maximum preparation for the new campaign.
Once it was announced that Trent Alexander-Arnold would be leaving Anfield for a move to Real Madrid, the boss knew this would be a key recruitment area.
Although Conor Bradley has shown promise in his performances so far, having suffered with injury, the Reds certainly needed back-up.
Tony Cascarino shares what Frimpong will bring Liverpool
For Frimpong to be the first signing of the summer for Liverpool is a big statement from Slot ahead of the new season.
Not only does it provide Liverpool with the opportunity to share minutes between Bradley and Frimpong, which will surely benefit both parties, but the new arrival can also allow the Reds to push further up the pitch.
Frimpong is known for his ability to push further up the pitch, as well as execute his defensive duties, and Mohamed Salah will surely enjoy playing alongside him.
The ability to do that was highlighted by Tony Cascarino who shared what he will bring to Slot’s men.
Speaking live on talkSPORT (1 June, 6:18am), he said: “He’s lightning quick, I mean the standout feature is that he’s electric. Direct, got a decent goal record and he’s going to be a viable option for Slot.”
Liverpool set for an exciting summer
Slot may have done an impressive job with Liverpool last season, but the opportunity to shape his side with the players he wants provides plenty of potential for next season.
Although he is a right-back, Frimpong’s goal involvements for Bayer Leverkusen highlight just how much he can bring to the side, contributing in different areas of the field.
| Appearances | Goals | Assists |
| 33 | 5 | 5 |
As Cascarino says, his speed is what allows him to contribute in the way he does and that will provide something different than what supporters became used to with Alexander-Arnold.
The Reds are also interested in recruiting Milos Kerkez to have on the other side, while a deal for Florian Wirtz is also close to happening.
Supporters in Merseyside will surely be enjoying the summer arrivals at Anfield, ready to look towards another Premier League title next term.
