Liverpool evaluates right-back options after Frimpong's struggles
Summary

Liverpool's disappointing fifth-place finish in the 2025-26 season prompts a reassessment of their squad. Despite significant investment, the team was unable to compete for the title, leading to a search for a reliable right-back. Jeremie Frimpong, signed to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold, has not met expectations due to injuries. Sources indicate Liverpool does not see Frimpong as their primary right-back for the upcoming season. The club is exploring new targets for this position, particularly as potential signings Denzel Dumfries and Lutsharel Geertruida are unlikely to join. Meanwhile, Conor Bradley's uncertain return further complicates their defensive strategy.
