We asked for your views on Liverpool making a move for Bayer Leverkusen's Jeremie Frimpong.

Despite being Dutch, Frimpong would be considered a "homegrown" player because he spent nearly a decade with Manchester City's academy and would therefore not take up one of the 17 permissible non-homegrown spots.

Here are some of your comments:

Owen: It would be a good g as a versatile player and obviously he has some serious quality so he shouldn't just sit on the bench. This seems as though Arne Slot will let him and Conor Bradley fight for that right-back spot. He also has played higher up so could be a right wing cover for Mo Salah, which is useful. And all that for not a vast sum of money so I think it should be a great g for the club.

Nick: At the quoted price, great g. Bradley is still developing and growing, so there's competition and rotation. Plus, he can play right wing which would relieve and rest Salah. For a player at his age, of his talent, it's a fantastic bit of business.

Ryan: Really exciting! Has loads of experience despite his relatively young age, looks a solid attacking wide threat which we need more of, can help alleviate the burden on Salah to deliver down that side, so hopefully we can get it wrapped up nice and quickly. We saw Dean Huijsen jump to Madrid so it'll be lovely to wrap this up. It'll provide solid competition for Bradley, who isn't quite there yet in of consistency and experience. Adds to the Dutch contingent at the club, so should settle right in.

Alex: I think this is clever business. Good price for a player who has a good CV. Strong pace that we need and different to what we have. Interestingly, although people see him as cover/competition for right-back, I wonder if he is our long-term solution to replacing Salah?

Fraser: An exciting g if this goes ahead. While I do like Bradley and I think he has the potential to be our new right-back, I don't think he's ready yet. Frimpong would be excellent competition for him. Defensively, he is a little questionable but Frimpong is very quick and excellent going forward. Could be extremely effective in attacks. A flexible player, relatively cheap release clause and also a homegrown player - it's a no-brainer. Go get the deal done!
