<p>A matter of weeks after <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/video-jeremie-frimpong-bayer-leverkusen-england-liverpool-transfer/bltc8aad9335efa0bc1" target="_blank">Frimpong swapped Leverkusen for Liverpool</a>, Wirtz has sealed a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/liverpool-get-their-man-reds-complete-gbp116m-deal-to-sign-florian-wirtz-from-bayer-leverkusen-as-germany-international-signs-long-term-deal-at-anfield/blt0d435719e6a90e7e" target="_blank">£116 million ($156m) switch</a> to Anfield. Now, the Dutchman has expressed his delight at the fact they will be team-mates once more, while explaining how Wirtz made him feel welcome when he joined the German team in 2021 from Celtic.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Frimpong told Sky, via journalist <a href="https://x.com/Plettigoal/status/1937137621680959658" target="_blank">Florian Plettenberg</a>: "Now that it’s official, it’s the best feeling. When I first came to Leverkusen, Flo was the one that took me in. Now we’re doing it all over again – so it’s good. I’ve been in Leverkusen for four and a half years, and I won everything. I won the Pokal. I won the Super Cup. I won the Bundesliga. So I wanted a new challenge. With Celtic, I won the treble. With Leverkusen, the double. So in Liverpool, I also want to win trophies."</p>

WHAT FRIMPONG SAID

<p>Frimpong, 24, and Wirtz, 22, formed a strong partnership at Leverkusen over the past few years, as they won a host of titles during a successful link-up. Now they will hope to build on that when they begin playing for <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/liverpool-player-ratings-tottenham-party-alexis-mac-allister-mohamed-salah-premier-league-title/bltfc91b236fda08fd4" target="_blank">defending Premier League champions Liverpool</a> next season.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Frimpong, who can play as a right-midfielder and as a right-back, will be reunited with Wirtz, who tends to play as an attacking midfielder but can also operate on the wings, when Liverpool begin their pre-season campaign next month.</p>
