Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong is an option for Liverpool as they consider how to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The Premier League champions are considering whether to go into the transfer market for a right-back this summer after their vice-captain announced he will leave at the end of his contract.

Frimpong, who has a €35m (£29.5m) release clause in his contract, helped Leverkusen win their first Bundesliga title last season, when they also lifted the German Cup and reached the Europa League final.

The 24-year-old has forged a reputation as an attacking right-back, scoring 28 goals in the last three seasons, though often playing as a wing-back for Xabi Alonso.

Frimpong, who has 12 caps for the Netherlands, would count as a homegrown player in England after coming through Manchester City’s youth system.

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has given Conor Bradley the opportunity to demonstrate he can take over from Alexander-Arnold, starting the Northern Ireland international in Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Arsenal.

Slot has compared Bradley to Paris Saint-Germain’s Achraf Hakimi for his running power and has argued that, as Joe Gomez, Jarell Quansah and Curtis Jones have also played right-back this season, Liverpool have plenty of candidates to operate there.

However, Bradley is the only specialist right-back among them, leaving Liverpool with a decision if they should sign someone and, if so, whether to go for Frimpong.
