The 24-year-old is the second new player confirmed to be arriving at Anfield this summer, with goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili set to complete his move from Valencia after a deal was agreed last year.

Frimpong will arrive as Trent Alexander-Arnold departs Liverpool, with the former Celtic star set to battle it out with Conor Bradley - who has signed a new four-year deal - for the right-back berth in Arne Slot's team.

He told the club's official website: "You always want to play for the top teams as a footballer, as a kid.
