RB Leipzig midfielder Xavi Simons has fuelled speculation surrounding a potential move to Liverpool this summer after congratulating Jeremie Frimpong on his own transfer from Bayer Leverkusen.

The Reds confirmed the former Manchester City talent would be moving to Anfield on a five-year contract.

The news broke on the same day that £10m was brought in for Trent Alexander-Arnold to leave Liverpool earlier than planned to meet up with the Real Madrid squad before the Club World Cup.

The Dutch attacking midfielder is claimed to be aiming to exit Leipzig this summer after they failed to qualify for next season's Champions League.

One of the clubs linked with a move for Simons is Liverpool and the playmaker would likely welcome a swap to Merseyside - owing to their participation in European football's top competition.

It is understood that a fee of approximately £67m will be demanded this summer, before Leipzig agree to sell.

But, having spent frugally in his first transfer window, Arne Slot could have the funds to splash the cash on Simons if he chooses.

Simons, inadvertently or not, fueled transfer speculation on Friday night when he congratulated Frimpong on his switch to Anfield.

Commenting on a post which showed the full-back going through his media commitments, the 22-year-old simply wrote: "Deserved."
