Liverpool face competition from Barcelona and Aston Villa in their pursuit of Bayer Leverkusen ace Jeremie Frimpong, according to one report.
The Reds appear in pole position to sign the Dutch international as Trent Alexander-Arnold's replacement, with a relatively cheap release clause around £29.6m ($39.3m) allowing Liverpool to directly strike a deal with the player.
Frimpong would compete with Conor Bradley at right back next season – although he could operate further forward – and would offer Liverpool an entirely different proposition to the outgoing Alexander-Arnold.
report that Liverpool are “advancing” in discussions for the 24-year-old, who is keen on the move to Anfield. There is an “increasing confidence” within the player's camp that a deal will be finalised.
