Key strength: Pace and recovery
Overlapping full-back
In a Liverpool campaign defined by inconsistency—sitting 4th in the table after a turbulent DLDLW run—Jeremie Frimpong has emerged as Arne Slot's most reliable lieutenant. The 25-year-old Dutch right-back, signed for €38m from Bayer Leverkusen, has featured in all 25 league matches this season, delivering 2 goals and 2 assists while clocking 1,464 minutes of virtually flawless football. What separates Frimpong from the pack isn't just his productivity; it's his discipline. Zero cards—yellow or red—across an entire season for a marauding full-back defies modern football logic. His overlapping runs have transformed Liverpool's right flank into a creative artery, unlocking space for Hugo Ekitiké while his 70-rated defending ensures he rarely leaves his backline exposed. Now valued at €40m—and climbing—Frimpong embodies the complete modern full-back. In a squad oscillating between brilliance and frustration, he's become the immovable object Slot can always depend on.
