Jeremie Frimpong transfer on Liverpool lips as diehards crack code that 'assures' former Celtic star's arrival

On what is meant to be the most relaxing day of the year there was likely a sudden rush of panic emanating from the home of Liverpool's social media specialist.

A pleasant festive picture of Cody Gakpo and Virgil van Dijk under the Christmas Tree with a smiling emoji was exactly the type of feel-good content being shared by clubs across the globe. But razor-sharp followers of the Reds reckons a code was being sent by Liverpool and the answer lies in a box-office transfer arrival.

You see those who love Liverpool are certain Gakpo and Van Dijk sharing festive good tidings is merely a ruse which will result in Jurgen Klopp's side signing another Dutch star. In fairness to those prophesying they may have a case. Both Van Dijk and Gakpo signed during the festive period and now Kop diehards reckon former Celtic star Jeremie Frimpong will be next.

It would be something of a Christmas miracle for Bayer Leverkusen to sell one of the most in-form right-backs on the planet as they chase Bundesliga title glory but Liverpool fans are trying to will it into existence. One wrote: “Two Dutch players in this picture. Could this be a hint for Jeremie Frimpong or Mats Weiffer incoming in January?”

While several others talked up the prospect of Frimpong being next. And a winter move for Frimpong would warm the cockles of the Parkhead board who inserted an eye-popping 30 per cent sell-on clause of any profit made in future sales when he left Glasgow in January 2021.

Liverpool appear an odd fit with Trent Alexander Arnold in the form of his life, however, many believe the England international is on the verge of moving to central midfield full time which paves the way for a rampaging option to replace him.
