Frimpong "on the verge" of Liverpool move
Speculation has been mounting recently linking Bayer Leverkusen's Jeremie Frimpong with a move to Liverpool, as the Reds search for a replacement for the departing Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Now, Kicker reports that the 24-year-old will 'almost certainly' leave Die Werkself and is 'on the verge' of a move to Anfield.
According to the German outlet, 'if anything,' only the 'final details remain to be sorted out' before the transfer is finalized.
Leverkusen are powerless to stop the move, as Frimpong has a release clause reportedly set between €35 and €40 million.
The Dutch wing-back could become the latest high-profile departure from the BayArena, following head coach Xabi Alonso and centre-back Jonathan Tah.
Alonso is expected to take over at Real Madrid, while Tah is reportedly close to joining Bayern Munich.
In addition, star playmaker Florian Wirtz is being heavily linked with a summer switch to Bayern.
Frimpong has scored five goals and provided 12 assists in 48 appearances across all competitions this season.
He joined Die Werkself from Celtic in January 2021 for a fee of €11 million.

Son to 'wait and see' on Tottenham future after Saudi links
South Korea's Son Heung-min has been linked with a move away from Premier League side Tottenham (Jung Yeon-je) Son Heung-min has cast doubt on his Tottenham future after saying he will "wait and see" what happens amid speculation the skipper could move to Saudi Arabia. The South Korean forward has a year left on his contract and has been linked with an exit after helping Spurs end their 17-year trophy drought. Advertisement "Rather than saying anything at this moment, I think we should all wait and see what happens," the 32-year-old told reporters after South Korea's 4-0 World Cup qualifying win over Kuwait on Tuesday. "But no matter where I end up, I will always do the best I can. It will never change." Son lifted the Europa League trophy last month to claim his first piece of silverware with Tottenham after helping his team beat Manchester United 1-0 in Bilbao. Spurs have since fired coach Ange Postecoglou following a dismal Premier League campaign that saw them finish one place above the relegation zone. Advertisement Son came under pressure after a series of underwhelming displays but he vowed to come back stronger next season, wherever he is playing. "I know people may say I had a disappointing year but personally, this was a special season because you play football to win, and only winners are remembered," said Son, who joined Tottenham from Germany's Bayer Leverkusen in 2015. "I wasn't in my best form for most of the season but hopefully I will be in better condition going into the new season." South Korea booked their place at next year's World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico with 2-0 win over Iraq last week. Advertisement They finished top of Group B in the Asian third round of qualifiers and were unbeaten in 10 games. "I know people just assume that we should come out of Asia with ease but nothing has been easy," said Son, who came on as a 75th-minute substitute against Kuwait. "I think we were able to finish well here because everyone came together with the same goal of never losing a match." amk/pst

England booed by its fans after loss to Senegal in international friendly
Boos rang out as England left the field after a 3-1 loss to Senegal in a friendly on Tuesday which marked the first defeat of Thomas Tuchel's tenure as coach. Senegal recovered from conceding Harry Kane's early goal to become the first team from Africa to record a victory over England. "We're not going to panic. But, for sure, we know we need to do better," England captain Kane told broadcaster ITV and suggested England had lost "that aggressive nature that we've had." In World Cup qualifying on Tuesday, the Netherlands beat Malta 8-0 and Austria beat San Marino 4-0. England's landmark loss Kane was the only player retained in Tuchel's starting lineup from last week's 1-0 win over Andorra, which had caused Tuchel to criticize his team's attitude. The changes brought little improvement. Kane's record-extending 73rd England goal gave his team the lead in the seventh minute, when he bundled in after a goalkeeping error by Edouard Mendy. Senegal was a step above Tuchel's previous England opponents Albania, Latvia and Andorra, and England conceded for the first time in his tenure in the 40th minute. Nicolas Jackson chased down a long pass and hooked it back for the onrushing Ismaila Sarr to score after having outpaced Kyle Walker. Senegal's second goal followed a long ball to Habib Diarra, who seemed to be attempting a pass of his own when the ball deflected in off goalkeeper Dean Henderson's leg. Jude Bellingham thought he'd leveled the game for England with a goal at a corner in the 84th, but it was ruled out for an earlier handball by Levi Colwill. Senegal made it 3-1 when Cheikh Sabaly finished off a counter in stoppage time. Depay ties a Dutch record Memphis Depay tied the scoring record for the Netherlands men's national team with two goals in the eight-goal win over Malta. Depay scored in the ninth and 16th minutes for his 49th and 50th goals, equaling a record set by team great Robin van Persie. Depay hit 50 goals in his 102nd game for the Netherlands, while van Persie's 50th came in his 101st game in 2015. In other World Cup qualifiers in Europe on Tuesday, Romania won 2-0 against Cyprus, Serbia beat Andorra 3-0 and Latvia drew 1-1 with Albania. Finland's game against Poland was suspended because of a medical emergency with Finland leading 2-1. The game later resumed. Reporting by The Associated Press.
