Man united learn Jeremie Frimpong transfer fee as they make final transfer decision on the superstar

In the summer transfer window, Man United and Arsenal are seeking to add an offensive full-back, and Jeremie Frimpong of Bayer Leverkusen is a top contender.

This summer, clubs interested in signing Bayer Leverkusen defender Jeremie Frimpong include Arsenal and Manchester United.

In terms of what both teams are looking for in a defensive acquisition, the Dutchman is said to possess the necessary traits.

For Leverkusen, Frimpong primarily plays as a right-back. The Gunners find him appealing because of his quickness and deft passing.

Arsenal want to sign an ‘offensive’ right-back & are willing to pay up to €40million (£34m) for a ‘development-capable player’

A report from Sky Sports underline interest from the north Londoners, United, Barcelona and Bayern – as well as stating that his asking price has been set at €40million (£34m) plus add-ons by Leverkusen as they brace themselves for offers.

This matches up to the price tag Arsenal are willing to pay for a defender this summer as they look to add quality cover for Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu.

Frimpong scored nine goals and provided a further 11 assists in just 40 appearances for Leverkusen across all competitions last season.

The Dutchman’s output from a defensive position highlights his ability – whilst he is capable of playing further forward on the right-wing or on the opposite side.

The 22-year-old’s contract is set to expire in 2025 but Leverkusen are expecting to receive a number of appealing transfer proposals for their star defender.

Frimpong is thought to be keen on a move to the Premier League – with a report from BILD suggesting he is leaning towards signing for United instead of the Gunners.

Xabi Alonso lauded Frimpong and described the Dutchman as being a ‘special‘ talent.

The 22-year-old has plenty of potential and is certainly a player who both Arsenal and United can benefit from having in the squad
