Liverpool have hit the ground running in this summer’s transfer window, securing the signatures of Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz, with Milos Kerkez reportedly set to follow. The Reds’ ambitious recruitment has sparked excitement among fans, and Frimpong, the dynamic right-back, is already making waves at Anfield.
In a recent interview with The Redmen TV, Frimpong opened up about his move to Liverpool and his early experiences training with his new teammates. When asked which player he’s most looking forward to working with, the Dutch defender singled out Ryan Gravenberch, revealing that the midfielder’s talent has already left him in awe – and occasionally frustrated – during training sessions.
Frimpong’s admiration for Gravenberch
“It’s tough to pick just one player,” Frimpong admitted when pressed on who has caught his eye in training. “All of them are top-class, but if I have to choose, it’s Ryan. I’ve trained with him before for the Netherlands, and let me tell you, he’s a special player. Sometimes he does things with the ball that drive me crazy – in a good way! His vision, his touch, it’s unreal. I just love watching him play.”
Frimpong and Gravenberch share a strong bond from their time together in the Dutch national team, where they’ve played six matches together across various youth levels, winning five and losing just one. Their chemistry on the pitch is undeniable, and Frimpong believes their partnership could be a game-changer for Liverpool next season.
“Ryan’s got everything,” Frimpong continued. “He’s strong, he’s skillful, and he’s so calm under pressure. I can’t wait to link up with him more on the right flank. We’ve got a good understanding already, and I think we’ll only get better.”
Gravenberch’s rise at Liverpool
Gravenberch’s standout performances last season cemented his place in Liverpool’s midfield, and the 22-year-old is poised to take another step forward under the club’s new management. His ability to glide past opponents and dictate play from deep has drawn comparisons to some of the game’s greats, and Frimpong’s praise only adds to the hype surrounding the young Dutchman.
Interestingly, the one game Frimpong and Gravenberch lost together for the Netherlands was against a Germany side featuring none other than Florian Wirtz, Liverpool’s other marquee signing this summer. Now, with all three players uniting at Anfield, the prospect of seeing them combine is tantalizing for Reds fans.
A dynamic duo for the future
Frimpong’s arrival bolsters Liverpool’s options at right-back, where his attacking flair and relentless energy will complement Trent Alexander-Arnold’s playmaking. Meanwhile, Gravenberch’s versatility in midfield offers the perfect platform for Frimpong to thrive, as the duo look to form a devastating partnership on the right side.
With Kerkez potentially joining to strengthen the left flank and Wirtz pulling the strings in attack, Liverpool’s squad is shaping up to be one of the most exciting in Europe. Frimpong’s revelation about Gravenberch’s brilliance in training is a reminder of the immense talent at Anfield – and a warning to Premier League rivals that the Reds mean business.
As Frimpong put it, “Ryan’s the one who’s got me buzzing in training. He’s going to shock a lot of people this season, trust me.”
