FRIMPONG'S CASHING IN

Flying Dutchman shows his value as Reds profit

- BY ANDY DUNN

AFTER the 90-or-so minutes are up, Arne Slot must go down as one of the calmest, most sensible managers the Premier League has seen.

Always measured, always polite, always fair, pretty much unflappable.

But if you did want to wind up the Dutchman, there is one easy ruse... mention how much money Liverpool spent last summer.

Or, to be more specific, mention how much money Liverpool spent in transfer fees without mentioning how much money they received in transfer fees.

As it happened, no one had to mention it after the narrow win against Wolves, Slot brought it up himself.

He brought it up in the context of the unfortunate injuries to Alexander Isak and Giovanni Leoni, and to the physical problems that have interrupted Jeremie Frimpong’s start to life at Liverpool.

“Jeremie is a great example - now if he is fit, he can definitely help us,” said Slot

“A lot has been said by so many people about the amount of money we’ve spent last summer.

“But unfortunately not all of the money we’ve spent we have used and that has to do with the injuries of these players.”
