Jeremie Frimpong has had a hit-and-miss first season in a Liverpool shirt, and now a key update has emerged regarding his future. That’s according to Anfield Watch, who report that Liverpool are “planning a new role” for the Netherlands international, using him as a winger moving forward instead.

Giving Frimpong more attacking freedom could make the most sense, with Slot lauding his special qualities earlier this season, saying: “Pace, that’s what he has, and that’s so important and crucial in modern football.

So to have him available with his pace, because the first goal we scored was pure individual ability: quick, bam-bam, and the cutback cross.” Wherever Frimpong plays, more is needed from him moving forward, though, and it may be that he struggles to make it into Liverpool’s strong XI next season. A superior right-back is needed, while on the right wing, an elite successor to Mohamed Salah is a must, rather than simply replacing him with Frimpong.
