Alexander-Arnold's Liverpool departure was confirmed last week as a move to Real Madrid on a free transfer edges closer, with the right back even booed by sections of the Anfield crowd during Sunday's draw with Arsenal in response to his exit.

Bayer Leverkusen are “unaware” of any deal being close for Jeremie Frimpong to join Liverpool. Speculation has been rife this week with regards to the right-back who is seen as a perfect replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold after it was announced he will be leaving the Premier League champions as a free agent.

Liverpool target Jeremie Frimpong has already hinted that he would rather join another Premier League club to complete his 'dream' move. The former Manchester City and Celtic defender is reportedly advancing in talks over a potential summer move to Anfield.
