Jeremie Frimpong has handed his medical forward of his impending switch to Liverpool, as reported by Ben Jacobs late on Monday evening.
Whereas the Dutchman’s future teammates have been about to be consigned to a 3-2 defeat away to Brighton, the information emerged that the 24-year-old has taken one other huge step in the direction of becoming a member of the Premier League champions from Bayer Leverkusen.
It wasn’t lengthy after these reviews got here to mild that Arne Slot confronted the Sky Sports activities cameras for his post-match debrief on the Amex Stadium, and he was requested whether or not he may ‘shed any mild’ on the right-back’s medical on Merseyside.
Slot broke into his trademark smile when requested about contracts or transfers and immediately replied: “What do you suppose? What we all know is that the second we announce it, that’s the second to speak about it. We haven’t introduced something so there’s no want to speak about it anymore.”

Slot cautious along with his phrases about impending Frimpong switch
It was a sometimes unflinching response from the Liverpool head coach when pressed about what’d be an enormous piece of early summer time recruitment, with the 46-year-old cautious to not converse out of flip till Frimpong’s switch is formally introduced.
That appears to be solely a matter of time now that the Netherlands worldwide has reportedly handed his medical, and if the information is formally confirmed this week, it’ll present Reds followers with a bonus increase forward of the Premier League trophy presentation at Anfield on Sunday.
Slot did appear to drop a slight trace that the switch will quickly be made official along with his comment of ‘the second we announce it’, and there doesn’t seem like something at this stage which may forestall the transaction from being finalised.
The Liverpool boss made a uncommon up-front declaration about off-field issues when saying on Friday that he’d like for some new signings to complement his title-winning squad, and it appears as if a part of that want can be realised within the coming days.
As quickly as Frimpong is formally introduced, we think about our head coach could have no difficulty talking at size concerning the 24-year-old!
