Jeremie Frimpong Targets Silverware Surge After Liverpool Arrival

Immediate Impact and Ambition

Jeremie Frimpong hasn’t wasted a second laying out his Liverpool ambitions. Within moments of his unveiling, the 24-year-old Dutchman turned the conversation from his transfer fee to treble dreams. This was not the standard new-signing nicety. This was conviction.

“For me, everywhere I’ve been I’ve always won things,” Frimpong told liverpoolfc.com. “It’s always been the league, cups and the league, so I’ve always won trebles. I want to win trebles, I want to win trophies – I play football to win trophies. I want to win as many trophies as possible.”

This isn’t mere optimism. It’s expectation, rooted in experience. At Celtic, Frimpong formed part of a domestic treble-winning side. At Bayer Leverkusen, he was instrumental in their Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal double, as well as a near miss in the Europa League final. Now, at Liverpool, the expectation only intensifies.

Pedigree of Success

Frimpong’s CV already reads like a player well-acquainted with pressure and performance. In 2019/20, he celebrated a clean sweep in Scotland. Last season, under Xabi Alonso’s historic Leverkusen side, he featured prominently in a campaign defined by unbeaten brilliance in Germany.

While their Europa League final defeat to Atalanta left a sour aftertaste, the message was clear: Frimpong arrives with a habit of winning and an appetite for more. His attacking instincts from right-back, paired with Liverpool’s progressive, high-energy system under Arne Slot, could prove the perfect match.

Slot’s Vision and Early Opportunities

The Community Shield in August offers an immediate chance to set the tone. A win against Crystal Palace might be modest in the grand scheme, but a trophy in Frimpong’s competitive debut would align well with his trophy-first mentality. Liverpool have lifted silverware in each of the past two seasons and appear determined to continue that streak.

High Expectations at Anfield

Liverpool are no strangers to chasing trebles, even quadruples, only to fall marginally short. The desire remains, especially after the euphoric title celebrations that turned sombre just days later.

With Frimpong in red, the bar is set high. His pace, tenacity, and fearlessness feel tailor-made for a side hungry to build a new era. If his past is any indication, Liverpool haven’t just signed a player – they’ve acquired a mentality.
