Liverpool searches for right-back replacement following Frimpong departure

Summary

Liverpool has begun the search for a right-back following Jeremie Frimpong's exit. Frimpong, signed last summer for around £30 million, struggled defensively, leading to Ronald Araujo taking over the position. As Araujo's loan is set to end, Liverpool is exploring options, including AS Roma's Wesley and Juventus' Pierre Kalulu. Wesley, a 23-year-old Brazilian, has performed well for Roma, contributing to seven goals last season. The club aims to secure a long-term solution at right-back.
