Alexander-Arnold's Liverpool departure was confirmed last week as a move to Real Madrid on a free transfer edges closer, with the right back even booed by sections of the Anfield crowd during Sunday's draw with Arsenal in response to his exit.

Liverpool are in advanced talks to sign Jeremie Frimpong as a replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold, sources have told ESPN.

Bayer Leverkusen are “unaware” of any deal being close for Jeremie Frimpong to join Liverpool. Speculation has been rife this week with regards to the right-back who is seen as a perfect replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold after it was announced he will be leaving the Premier League champions as a free agent.
