Jeremie Frimpong has arrived by Bayer Leverkusen as a direct replacement for the right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, whose former switch to Real Madrid has now been confirmed.

But there are already more offers in the works, with Liverpool in conversations with Leverkusen about a potential offer of more than 100 million GBP for playmaker Florian Wirtz with another top destination by Bournemouth Milos Kerkez.

In view of great doubts about the future of Darwin Nunez, it is assumed that the Reds will also target a new striker this summer.

According to Liverpool supporters and EFL legend Adebayo Akinfenwa, there is another area of ​​the squad that must be desperately reinforced.

“I think that was in advance,” Akinfenwa told Talk Sports in the Sportbar.

“Last summer we didn’t bring anyone in Bar Federico Chiesa, so I think they knew what they had to do and identified what we needed.

“You know that we have to have a full -back, we already have Jeremie Frimpong over the line, hopefully we will do Milos Kerkez next and Wirtz is a very good player – the business is good to bring these three players.

“But I still think that we need a central defender and a midfielder.

“Ibrahima Konate has another year in his contract, Joe Gomez is just coming back from an injury – if one of them is injured in the next season, we suddenly have a problem. So I think we need another central defender.

“But listen, the season is only finished last week and we are already trying to bring in three players, so it’s still a long time. Hopefully it continues in this way and it looks like we think shops.”

In addition to the players who come in, there will also be a lot of expenses in Anfield in Anfield, since the slot refines its squad after a first first campaign.

Akinfenwa believes that Liverpool’s seasonal season showed, as Slot does not trust some of his Squad players, and the former striker expects these stars to continue -call Nunez and Harvey Elliott as possible.

“It is believed that Darwin Nunez will go and a lot about Luis Diaz to Barcelona or teams in Saudi Arabia,” said Reds fan.

“It is also talked about Diogo Jota, and I really like Jota, he is a brilliant finisher and I’m a big fan, but he is very injured.

“I think it’s time for Nunez to continue, but if he does it, he will do it well, just like Antony, after leaving United, I really think. He has many good properties, but the way Liverpool plays under Arne Slot simply does not benefit him.

“But when Nunez and Jenta go, they have to bring more bodies into this front line. One of the reasons why we were so successful is that we had five attackers who could hack and change, and they would afford all the destinations.

“It is the same in midfield. It is talking about Harvey Elliott – I don’t want Harvey Elliott. I love Harvey Elliott. I want Harvey Elliott to stay.

“But I think what was clear at the end of the season is that the slot did not trust the squad.

“When Harvey goes Elliott or other players, they have to bring in bodies to replace them, because if we have more players, we would have won more than just the Premier League title this season.

“But I’m not greedy, I’ll take the Premier League!”

When asked whether he has the feeling that this Liverpool team, which was strengthened in the summer transfer window, can secure consecutive crowns of the Premier League, Akinfenwa added: “Yes, I really do that.

“But suddenly it comes with pressure. The slot had no pressure.

“But I like his behavior. He said:” Look, man, the season was ready. As soon as we won it in Tottenham, it was in the party mode “.

“But he said: ‘Listen when we return to the previous season, it will be difficult and I will know if I have winners.

“I like everything that comes out of his mouth in terms of the way he speaks. So my thumb pushed back back.”
