Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara has hailed Jeremie Frimpong as a top acquisition for Liverpool, though he suggests the gap left by Trent Alexander-Arnold might still be felt.

Speaking to Grosvenor Sport, the 38-year-old praised the Reds' shrewd move in snapping up the Dutchman Frimpong but maintained that Alexander-Arnold remains the superior player.

"Jeremine Frimpong is another really good signing for Liverpool," he commented.



He played a pivotal role in Bayer Leverkusen's dream run to the Bundesliga title and was named in the Bundesliga Team of the Season for both 2022-23 and 2023-24.

Despite the 24-year-old turning heads across the Premier League with his move to the reigning champions, O'Hara doubts whether Frimpong can emulate what Alexander-Arnold achieved while donning the Liverpool red.

The former Tottenham midfielder also commented: "But I don't think Frimpong will reach the same level as Trent did.

His contributions in the form of assists were unmatched for Liverpool, which is why Madrid have signed him."

Alexander-Arnold's move to Real Madrid was confirmed on May 30, the exact day Liverpool named Frimpong as his successor.

After Alexander-Arnold signaled his desire to depart from the Merseyside team on May 5, Arne Slot decided to field Northern Irish international Conor Bradley as the right-back.

Despite Bradley showing promise since graduating from the Liverpool Academy in 2023, O'Hara is skeptical that he can become a permanent fixture in the senior team.

"I know that some fans have argued they've got Conor Bradley – who is a good player – but he's not good enough to be a starting defender for Liverpool, let alone have the same effect as Trent."



However, I must confess, I anticipated Kelleher signing with a top European club as their first-choice goalkeeper."

Kelleher made his way to the Liverpool Academy in 2015 from Irish side Ringmahon Rangers and climbed the ranks to make his senior debut for the Reds in 2019
