Frimpong Names Top Four in Liverpool History and Eyes His Own Legacy | OneFootball

Frimpong Eyes Greatness Among Liverpool Legends

Liverpool’s historic stature draws another believer

Liverpool’s pull remains magnetic. Whether it’s their six European Cups, the ferocious spirit of the Kop, or simply the red shirt steeped in football heritage, few clubs command the kind of reverence Liverpool do. For new signing Jeremie Frimpong, that affection runs deeper than most—his father, a long-time Reds fan, passed on the passion early. Now the Dutch right-back has the opportunity to write his own chapter.

The 23-year-old arrives from Bayer Leverkusen for £30 million, and while Arne Slot’s reign is only just beginning, Frimpong already sounds like someone who understands the weight of the jersey he now wears. Speaking to SPORTbible’s TikTok, he named his personal Mount Rushmore of Liverpool icons.

“I think I’ll put Salah there and Gerrard for sure,” Frimpong said. “Virgil [van Dijk] for sure, and let’s go for Kenny, Kenny Dalglish.”

It’s a modern-heavy list, though not without balance. Salah and Gerrard, the club’s leading Premier League goalscorer and one of its greatest captains respectively, are worthy of any such reckoning. Virgil van Dijk’s inclusion may raise eyebrows among some purists, but it’s a nod to a generational defender. And in King Kenny, Frimpong pays homage to Liverpool’s royal lineage.

Future ambitions shaped by club’s illustrious past

Every player at Liverpool is measured by more than just talent; it’s about impact, moments, and medals. The likes of Ian Rush, John Barnes, Alan Hansen, and Jamie Carragher all had defining eras, and the names Frimpong mentioned are those who have transcended mere performance to shape the club’s identity.

By listing them, Frimpong not only shows an understanding of the club’s modern and historic DNA, he sets his sights high. At just 23, and with a record of contributing goals and assists from wing-back, he offers dynamism and flair in a position where Liverpool have been blessed in recent years.

Replacing Trent brings pressure and possibility

Frimpong’s arrival inevitably sparks questions about Trent Alexander-Arnold’s role going forward. Whether Trent moves into midfield permanently or rotates more regularly, Frimpong’s attacking instincts will be crucial for Liverpool in both domestic and European campaigns.

He isn’t shying away from the pressure either. Speaking to Sky Sports, Frimpong stated:

“It’s big shoes but it’s Liverpool, it’s a big team who win trophies for a reason. 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.”

It’s the kind of mentality Liverpool demand. If he delivers on that promise, he’ll find himself not just in the matchday XI, but in the hearts of the fans.

Path to Liverpool immortality begins now

The road to becoming one of Liverpool’s greatest players is long and demanding. It’s marked by trophies, commitment, and magic under the Anfield lights. Frimpong’s blend of confidence and humility suggests he understands the challenge. His list of idols may define the past, but it’s what he builds from now on that will determine his future.
