Liverpool have signed a new winger
Liverpool have already signed a new winger this summer and no one has noticed.
Luis Diaz is set to depart the Reds as he jets off to Germany from Japan to undergo a medical at Bayern Munich. With his departure there have been a lot of calls for Liverpool to sign a replacement for the Colombian.

The Reds are working on a deal to bring in another attacker but it’s not a winger – it’s Alexander Isak. He’s a number nine and this is an area where Liverpool are short of options.
In contrast on the wings, Liverpool may already have enough ammunition – even if Federico Chiesa is set to depart as well.
Arne Slot has Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo and the brilliant Rio Ngumoha to choose from. Although they are not the only options.
New signings, Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz can also play on the wings. And the Reds have also signed a winger, who not many people have noticed is actually a winger.
At least that is where new signing Jeremie Frimpong has played for the most of pre-season. He came on and played as a right-winger against Preston and did the same against AC Milan as well.
Frimpong’s speed and the fact that he played really advanced in Bayer Leverkusen’s system means he’s very well suited to play that forward role.
Against Milan, he showcased his qualities, too. His speedy runs caused a lot of problems to AC Milan’s defence and it went under the radar a little bit, just how good Frimpong was in that game.
The Liverpool man won the most duels (7) in the match and his constant threat could have easily resulted in the game being more even.
