Liverpool could lose out on reported target Jeremie Frimpong if West Ham have their way.
Football Insider now reports that the Hammers are eager to complete a deal to land the Bayer Leverkusen fullback this January.
The Dutch youth international has been in impeccable form this term, amassing 17 goal contributions in 23 games (at a rate of a goal or assist every 102.23 minutes).

One has to wonder where Frimpong will end up positionally in a few years at the rate he’s going.
In possession, the 23-year-old – described as ‘incredibly fast’ by sporting director Simon Rolfes (via Bundesliga.com) – acts more like a winger, becoming active in the final third, as is demonstrated by his ludicrous number of goal contributions.
With that in mind, it’s surely a possibility that the “right-back” will be converted into a more advanced position at some point in what could be a highly illustrious career.
In that case, we wouldn’t need to worry about what we might do with the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Conor Bradley (depending of course on where we see our No.66 playing his best football for the remainder of his career).
