Despite Liverpool’s eagerness to seal a deal for the former Manchester City academy product, the player was also expecting the situation to be resolved swiftly after the conclusion of the Bundesliga season on Saturday.

The Dutch international has emerged as one of the most sought-after full-backs in Europe, having played a starring role in Leverkusen’s historic unbeaten Bundesliga title-winning campaign last season.

In one of the most memorable times in his career at Germany, Frimpong recorded 14 goals and provided 12 assists in 47 appearances across all competitions in that campaign.
