Liverpool will lift the Premier League trophy on Sunday as the curtain comes down on the 2024/25 season.
It has been a memorable campaign at Anfield, with the Reds unexpectedly claiming their 20th English league title.
Arne Slot has taken most of the credit after leading Liverpool to the top of the pile once again and it has truly been a remarkable debut season for the Dutch coach.
Next season, Slot will be aiming to do even better, setting his sights on sustained success and perhaps a shot at the Champions League.
In order to remain the best team in the land, Slot and Richard Hughes are already making moves in the summer transfer market.
As per The Times on Thursday, the formalities of the deal to sign Jeremie Frimpong have now been completed.
With Frimpong reportedly set to join once the transfer window opens, it has now been revealed when he will link up with his new teammates at the Liverpool training ground.

With the focus on the trophy lift on Sunday, it can be easily forgotten that we will not see these players for several months beyond the weekend.
Friday represented the last time Slot will speak to the press this season and he took the chance to confirm what date has been set for pre-season in July.

When asked whether he can bring sustained success to Liverpool, the Reds head coach admitted that he will have a better idea of the answer once his players reconvene on Tuesday, July the 8th.
“What I don’t know yet, and that’s going to be the interested one, is if we have this elite mentality, this serial winner mentality of showing up season, after season, after season and I think I’ll get the answer already on the 8th of July when we come back together to see what shape the players are in,” said Slot.
“Not every player has this elite mentality

“Last season Mo was the one who was the fittest when we arrived back after the break.
“That’s something the players, and myself, have to prove and the first day for me to judge that is the 8th of July.”
There is likely to be a number of changes to the Liverpool squad by the time the 8th of July rolls around.
With moves already being made in the market, and some exits likely to be finalised, it could be a very different group reporting to Slot for duty.
After the Thursday update, it is virtually certain that Frimpong will be one of those at the AXA Training Centre on that Tuesday morning.
Unless there is an unforeseen issue with the transfer, or an injury problem arises in the meantime, that should be the first glimpse Liverpool fans get of their new signing in his new home.
