It was a random Friday morning towards the end of May, and Arne Slot was in the kitchen cooking something that Liverpool fans didn't see coming.
Well, fans did see it coming, but they didn't anticipate the deal coming into fruition nearly as quickly as it had done. That's right, Reds, Arne Slot has replaced Trent Alexander-Arnold and, dare we say it, upgraded him even.
Fabrizio Romano is known as the transfer oracle. Whenever he speaks on the matter of transfers, it's considered gospel. He is quick to the pulse and reliable more often than not.
Fabrizio Romano drops surprise Liverpool transfer news
This morning, the Italian journalist dropped a clanger on social media which has Liverpool fans jumping for joy. He revealed that Jeremie Frimpong is now a Liverpool player... Before Liverpool could even announce it.
In his own words, Fabrizio Romano said: "Jeremie Frimpong deal [is] all signed and sealed with official announcement now imminent. Liverpool have their new right back for €35m."
So, that's it, Reds. We would say that the Jeremie Frimpong saga is finally over but in reality, it's only just beginning. While Liverpool haven't announced the signing yet, fans can brace for that now the oracle has spoken.
Is it too early to order your Frimpong jerseys for next season? Well, probably not, actually. While those pessimistic fans will wait until the official announcement, those optimistic will recognise that ITKs such as Fabrizio Romano, a tier one source, is just as reliable as the club.
Jeremie Frimpong is a versatile defender who primarily operates on the right, either at right-back or right midfield. His attacking output is what catches the eye the most, proving to be a threat in the final third. Therefore, it's clear to see why Liverpool wanted him to fill the Trent-shaped hole.
Trent Alexander-Arnold's next destination is not officially confirmed. However, let's be real, we all know it's going to be Real Madrid. Look, he's a club legend through and through, but we can't get caught up in mourning his loss, so credit to Liverpool for being proactive in replacing him.
Welcome to Liverpool, Jeremie Frimpong.
