Jeremie Frimpong was caught flying into Merseyside on Tuesday evening in order to finalise his transfer from Bayer Leverkusen, with a deal for Milos Kerkez also edging closer.

“So Liverpool are working on the Milos Kerkez deal, and then for Florian Wirtz, agreement with the player done, and conversations underway with Bayer Leverkusen,” he said via his YouTube channel.

“After the first proposal, they are discussing the bonuses, they are discussing all the details of this deal, but for sure, they are working hard to get the Florian Wirtz deal done, and it won’t take too long.

“So that’s the message coming from those close to the deal.

And my expectation remains for this deal to be completed for Florian Wirtz to Liverpool.”

One of the main areas of weakness within Liverpool’s team this season was their left-back.

Throughout the 2024-25 campaign, however, something hasn’t quite clicked for the Scotsman as he’s often been interchanged with Kostas Tsimikas, who has comfortably been his back-up for the past couple of campaigns.

However, after Kerkez’s awe-inspiring season this term, it’s not a surprise to see him linked with a move to one of the big six, especially since a transfer fee of £50million is all that would be required to sign him.

And, while Liverpool’s number 10 wasn’t a massive priority to improve, as Dominik Szoboszlai had an impressive season, a move for Florian Wirtz is also something that Liverpool can’t turn down.

Indeed, the window is still young and plenty of things can still change, but if the Anfield outfit can get deals for both Wirtz and Kerkez over the line, it would be a massive statement of intent from Richard Hughes and co.
