Liverpool’s transfer target Hugo Ekitike has shown interest in a social media post about Jeremie Frimpong’s move to the Premier League. The Dutch international has signed a five-year contract with Liverpool<\/a> after leaving Bayer Leverkusen, becoming Arne Slot<\/a>‘s first summer signing following the activation of his \u00a329.5m release clause.<\/p>\n

This development came shortly after Trent Alexander-Arnold<\/a>‘s departure to Real Madrid was confirmed, just in time for him to participate in the Club World Cup.<\/p>\n

Even though they’ve just clinched the Premier League title, Liverpool<\/a> are already seeking reinforcements to defend their crown next season. They’re currently leading the race to sign Florian Wirtz, Frimpong’s highly-rated teammate at Bayer Leverkusen, despite interest from Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n

Another potential recruit is Eintracht Frankfurt’s Ekitike, who had an impressive season with the Bundesliga side, helping them secure a Champions League spot. However, Liverpool<\/a> aren’t the only ones eyeing the French U21 international; Chelsea<\/a> are also reportedly interested in the former Paris Saint-Germain forward.<\/p>\n

Despite the competition, Liverpool<\/a> have already started their transfer activities ahead of their pre-season return in July, and there’s been some intriguing social media activity from the Reds’ linked striker.<\/p>\n

Leverkusen\u2019s Instagram<\/a> recently showcased Frimpong’s top moments with Die Werkself, drawing attention even from Ekitike, who hit ‘like’ on the post. Liverpool<\/a>, amid rumours they could face a battle for the forward, have already secured one deal in Frimpong.<\/p>\n

Frimpong expressed his delight about joining the Reds, sharing with Liverpool<\/a>‘s official website: “It went quite easy.<\/p>\n

“Liverpool<\/a> came and said they had interest, and obviously for me it was a no-brainer.<\/p>\n

“For me, it was like, ‘Whatever you guys do, just get this done’, [speaking to] my agents: ‘Just get this done.’ Liverpool<\/a> fans, I’m going to give my all, my energy, my work-rate and hopefully we can win together, we celebrate together, get everything together.”<\/p>\n

“I’m just excited to be here. Thank you guys for accepting me and I won’t let you guys down and I’ll give you the energy that you guys want.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool’s transfer target Hugo Ekitike has shown interest in a social media post about Jeremie Frimpong’s move to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":147781,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[748,393,4884,5759,18519,179,763,101,9431,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-147780","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-hugo-ekitike","12":"tag-jeremie-frimpong","13":"tag-liverpool","14":"tag-liverpool-fc","15":"tag-premier-league","16":"tag-premier-league-transfers","17":"tag-uk","18":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114604573089437865","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147780","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=147780"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147780\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/147781"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=147780"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=147780"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=147780"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
