Gakpo has claimed his future Liverpool team-mate Jeremie Frimpong is Dutch, English and “ a very good player”. The new champions have activated the £29.5m buyout clause for the Bayer

Leverkusen right-back as a replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold. Frimpong, who can also play on the wing, is a former Manchester City trainee who played for Celtic and won the German

double last season with Bayer Leverkusen. The Anfield club already has a strong Dutch contingent with manager Arne Slot, captain Virgil van Dijk and Ryan Gravenberch. Liverpool have yet to

game and obviously the last game of the season, at home in front of our own fans we want to win and end on a high with a good feeling, lifting the trophy. That’s hopefully what we will do.
