Virgil van Dijk embraces new Liverpool team-mate Jeremie Frimpong after reporting for international duty with the Netherlands(Image: Ons Oranje - YouTube)

Jeremie Frimpong has met up with some of his Liverpool team-mates for the first time since joining the Reds.

The Netherlands international completed his £29.5m move to Anfield last week after the release clause in his Bayer Leverkusen contract was activated.

Liverpool moved for the 24-year-old after it became clear that Trent Alexander-Arnold would be leaving the club.



Deciding against signing a new contract at Anfield, the England international officially joined Real Madrid in a deal worth £10m to the Reds on Sunday.

Having now completed his move to Liverpool, Frimpong is currently away on international duty with the Netherlands.

Ronald Koeman’s side are in World Cup qualification action this month as they take on Finland and Malta.

The defender had actually reported for international duty prior to his switch to Anfield being announced.

And he has now been joined by three of his new Reds team-mates, after Virgil van Dijk, Cody Gakpo and Ryan Gravenberch all linked up with their compatriots after being granted a later meet-up with the Dutch camp following Liverpool’s Premier League title trophy parade.

Van Dijk was filmed meeting up with his team-mates as the Dutch national team gathered at the KNVB Campus in Zeist, in a video released on their YouTube channel.

And in footage captured in the behind-the-scenes video, he can be seen meeting Frimpong for the first time as Liverpool team-mates.

Embracing a number of his international colleagues, the Reds captain makes a beeline for Frimpong after spotting the defender as the pair then warmly embrace.

And Van Dijk is seen almost having his team-mate in a headlock as they share a lengthy hug.

After signing for Liverpool, Frimpong previously revealed that he had spoken to Van Dijk prior to completing the move.

“Yeah, of course, I have had a few conversations with them,” he said.

They have told me good things.”

Frimpong actually went viral the last time he greeted a Liverpool player at the Netherlands camp, having been caught practicing his Scouse as he greeted Gravenberch by saying, ‘You all right, la?’ back in March.

Reacting to the Reds fanbase’s response to such a clip, Liverpool’s latest signing said: “I didn’t know it was going to go that viral!

“For me, it was literally just, obviously Ryan plays for Liverpool and obviously Liverpool is Scouse, so I just did that.
