Liverpool fans are buzzing after new signing Jeremie Frimpong posted a video hinting at a partnership with Florian Wirtz, as speculation about the German starlet's high-profile move to Liverpool grows louder.

Frimpong, 24, became Liverpool's first capture of the summer window earlier this month, following a $40 million release cause activation that saw him leave Bayer Leverkusen for the reigning Premier League champions.

At just 22, Wirtz appears primed to join his former teammate at Anfield, having set his sights on the historic club.

As negotiations for what could be an unprecedented transfer in British football history continue to heat up, Liverpool now lead the race for the much-coveted playmaker.

Labelled as "agent Frimpong" by another admirer and with comments such as "Frimpong posting comps with Wirtz in.

Looks like he's just as excited to see Wirtz at Liverpool as us," accompanied by the suggestive eyes emoji.

Like Frimpong, Wirtz has been turning heads at Leverkusen over the past few years and is now considered one of Europe's most promising talents

However, a deal is expected to be struck for a lesser sum, with Liverpool having offered $154 million to their Bundesliga counterparts last week.

A breakthrough seems imminent, with Wirtz expressing his preference for a move to Liverpool despite interest from Bayern Munich

The Reds are putting a guaranteed $135 million on the table for Wirtz, with the total package likely to surpass the $155 million that Chelsea shelled out to sign Moises Caicedo, the former Brighton midfielder who was also linked with Liverpool at the time
