There was a mixed reaction among fans to the news that Liverpool is in talks with Jeremie Frimpong about a possible transfer.

There have been discussions this week between the Bayer Leverkusen star’s camp and Liverpool, but a deal is not close at this stage.

Frimpong is affordable, won’t require months of negotiating, is deemed a homegrown player from his time at Manchester City, and - perhaps most importantly - has the talent required to thrive in this Liverpool team.



Well, not quite.

Firstly, Frimpong’s rampaging, explosive dribbling style does clash somewhat with the system Arne Slot has imposed at Liverpool since his arrival last summer.

Can either be relied upon to play regularly as Liverpool competes for the Premier League and Champions League titles?



The Daily Mail claims the Reds are interested in Lutsharel Geertruida, who played under Slot at Feyenoord.

At 24, he fits the age profile Liverpool prioritizes in the market, and the player understands Slot’s tactical approach

As a regular at RB Leipzig - a Champions League side - he has the talent required to occupy a spot in the Liverpool squad, but perhaps is just behind the levels shown routinely by Bradley.

Crucially, Geertruida can also play as center-back, left-back, and even in midfield; he’s played in all of those positions this season alone.
