Liverpool are expected to tie up the signing this week after indicating to Bayer Leverkusen that they plan to activate Frimpong's release clause.

It will see the 24-year-old complete a £29.5million move to Anfield ahead of next season.

However, Conor Bradley is understood to be set to start the season as Trent Alexander-Arnold's successor.

The England international will leave Liverpool when his contract expires this summer.

Alexander-Arnold is expected to join Spanish giants Real Madrid on a free transfer.

Bradley, meanwhile, has penned a new long-term contract with the Reds through to the summer of 2029.

The signing of Frimpong will see him add extra competition for places alongside Bradley at right-back.

It is likely to be the first of many signings for Arne Slot this summer.

His side are also eyeing a move for Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez.

The Hungarian has featured in all 36 of the Cherries' Premier League matches this season, scoring twice and adding six assists.

Slot is already familiar with Kerkez, having faced him as Feyenoord boss during the defender's time at AZ Alkmaar.

Liverpool are understood to be the frontrunners to sign the 21-year-old despite interest from Real Madrid.

A potential move for Alexander Isak rests on Newcastle's final league position, though.

The Reds would love to sign the Swedish striker to bolster their attacking options ahead of their title defence.

However, a potential deal would be complicated if Eddie Howe's side qualify for the Champions League.

A win over Everton on Sunday would secure Newcastle's top five place and a spot in Europe's elite competition.

However, dropped points for the Magpies could see them slip out of Champions League contention with Manchester City, Chelsea, Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest also eyeing a spot in the top five.

Isak, who has three years left on his deal at St.

James' Park, has scored 23 Premier League goals this season.

Only Liverpool's Mohamed Salah has scored more than the 32-year-old, who is set to finish the campaign as the league's top scorer with 28 strikes to his name.
