Liverpool are now pressing ahead with their pursuit of Bayer Leverkusen\u2019s Jeremie Frimpong.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Arne Slot\u2019s compatriot is being lined up as Trent Alexander-Arnold\u2019s replacement at Liverpool<\/a>, who is set to join Xabi Alonso at Real Madrid.<\/p>\n

Liverpool have held talks with Frimpong<\/a> and a deal is now looking increasingly likely to bring the Dutchman back to England.<\/p>\n

Frimpong<\/a> started out in Manchester City\u2019s academy before moving to Celtic in 2019, a switch that ultimately led him to the Bundesliga.<\/p>\n

Now, the title-winning full-back is being earmarked as the man to replace Alexander-Arnold\u2019s rich creativity on the right \u2014 even if Frimpong\u2019s strengths lie in his forward runs, rather than his 40-yard passes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jeremie Frimpong could stifle Conor Bradley\u2019s chances<\/p>\n

That being said, Alan Shearer<\/a> and Micah Richards<\/a> have both reacted to the prospect of Frimpong joining Liverpool and what that might mean for Conor Bradley<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The pair were speaking on \u2018The Rest Is Football\u2019 podcast and both concluded that Bradley does still have a bright future at Anfield \u2014 even if a new first-choice right-back comes in.<\/p>\n

Reacting to news that Liverpool were closing in on Frimpong\u2019s signature, Shearer said: \u201cThat doesn\u2019t surprise me.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut that doesn\u2019t mean to say that Conor Bradley is not going to have a bright future because he is, I think. I think he\u2019s impressed me \u2014 whether he\u2019s ready to go in full time or not\u2026I guess maybe not. <\/p>\n

\u201cBut so that\u2019s why they\u2019ll get another one in. But you\u2019re right \u2014 they have to get another one in anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n

Richards then shared his own thoughts, discussing the challenge Bradley faced in terms of transitioning from a substitute to a regular starter.<\/p>\n

Praising Bradley, he said: \u201cI actually think he\u2019s very good guys. I think he\u2019s good going forward, he\u2019s intelligent with his runs, he can do the one on one defending as well. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe only question mark would be can he do it on a consistent basis? <\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, when he\u2019s coming in for, or when he came in for Trent, the mindset of a sub is different to a starter, you know, coming in and filling the void for a little bit.<\/p>\n

\u201cI won\u2019t say it\u2019s easier to do, but it\u2019s just a different mindset in the way you approach it, no mistakes, [be] aggressive.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Arne Slot needs to sign a striker at Liverpool<\/p>\n

Of course, Liverpool could have a somewhat similar situation with Diogo Jota should they recruit a new striker this summer.<\/p>\n

By a lot of accounts, Darwin Nunez could leave Liverpool<\/a> for a new challenge this summer, someone who has predominantly been used from the bench by Slot.<\/p>\n

But Jota seems destined to stick around, and he will have to compete with someone who is perhaps slightly more in Slot\u2019s image.<\/p>\n

Liverpool want to sign Alexander Isak<\/a> from Newcastle United ideally, but he is unlikely to be available.<\/p>\n

Therefore, Liverpool could target Victor Osimhen<\/a>, who is perhaps the best alternative on the market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool are now pressing ahead with their pursuit of Bayer Leverkusen\u2019s Jeremie Frimpong.
