Frimpong, who chose to sign for Manchester City rather than Liverpool when he was a promising schoolboy player because the club’s training ground was just a bus ride away, chose Holland over Ghana when he was first selected for the country of his birth by Louis van Gaal ahead of the 2022 World Cup.

Frimpong has picked up a few important words in the last three years, but still prefers to communicate in English.

The player did not make his debut until Van Gaal had been replaced by Ronald Koeman after the tournament in Qatar.



Frimpong recalled: “Louis van Gaal told me that I had to have patience, but that I would absolutely make it.

“I remember when I was on the training pitch at Bayer Leverkusen and I heard that the Dutch squad for the World Cup in Qatar had been announced.

I got back in the dressing room at Leverkusen and I saw that my phone had exploded with messages.

"I was invited to join the WhatsApp group of the national team.

Louis had added a video to announce all the names of the players he wanted in the Dutch squad for the World Cup.

“I didn’t play in Qatar but Louis said ‘your time will come, please have patience.’ When Ronald Koeman came in he made it clear he had full trust in me as a player.”

Slot will now have a replacement for Real Madrid-bound Alexander-Arnold before the England defender has left Anfield.

He won the Scottish domestic treble in his first season in Glasgow before being signed by Leverkusen in January 2021 for £1.5million.

The defender was part of the team that won the German double under Xabi Alonso last season and has been on Slot’s radar ever since it became clear that Alexander-Arnold would not be signing a new contract.

Slot saw Frimpong produce a sensational performance in a Nations League quarter-final clash for Holland against Spain in Rotterdam in March when he gave Chelsea ’s Marc Cucurella a torrid time with his attacking runs down the right.

Frimpong is planning to take a short holiday before reporting for International duty for the World Cup qualifiers against Finland and Malta next month - but expects to be a Liverpool player before he jets off.
