Jeremie Frimpong can fly! Liverpool need full-back to stay fit and provide an X-factor to ensure top-five finish

Mark Doyle Tue, 3 March 2026 at 6:00 am UTC·7 min read Twenty minutes - that's all Jeremie Frimpong needed to show Liverpool what they'd been missing in Saturday's Premier League clash with West Ham.
