New signing Jeremie Frimpong has no doubt he has the ability to fill the “big shoes” of Trent Alexander-Arnold in Liverpool’s defence.

"It's big shoes but it's Liverpool, it's a big team who win trophies for a reason,” he told Sky Sports. “If you play for Liverpool you have to fill in the shoes and perform.

“I've always believed in myself. I'm a winner. That's what I'll bring. The Premier League is the best league in the world. I grew up in Manchester so I always wanted to come back. It was always the plan.

"I know what being a champion is like at Bayer Leverkusen so joining a champion team is a privilege, especially for Liverpool. To go from watching them to playing for them is crazy. The manager has told me how I can help the team and he really likes me as a player. It's given me extra motivation and belief."
