Frimpong Stars in Wolves Win as Slot Calls His Pace Crucial to Beating Low Blocks

Slot cites injuries limiting summer signings, with Frimpong emerging as a needed right-side outlet.

Overview

  • The Netherlands international recorded consecutive assists, setting up Hugo Ekitike at Tottenham before creating Ryan Gravenberch’s opener against Wolves.
  • Liverpool’s 2-1 victory at Anfield was Frimpong’s first Premier League start in roughly two months and only his second since joining after a hamstring lay-off.
  • Arne Slot praised Frimpong’s speed as “important and crucial,” framing it as Liverpool’s way to unlock deep defenses given a limited set-piece threat.
  • The manager said the club’s sizeable summer intake has been underused because of injuries, highlighting Jeremie Frimpong and Giovanni Leoni as examples.
  • Analysts noted his ability to impact matches from right-back and higher up the flank, arguing that keeping him fit will be important over the coming weeks.
