In recent months, Jeremie Frimpong has been closely associated with Manchester United, and the most recent development is promising.

The Dutch international, whose worth to Bayer Leverkusen is £50 million, was the subject of a move by the Red Devils, according to a Football Insider report from back in February.

The 22-year-old is nearing completion of his transfer to Old Trafford, according to Bild’s Head of Football, Falk, who made the claim last month.

According to Florian Plettenberg, Manchester United has now intervened and started negotiations to sign Frimpong from the German club.

The right back is willing to leave the Bundesliga side, according to the Sky Sports journalist, and United has already had fruitful discussions with his agent.

Erik ten Hag has used players like Wan-Bissaka and Dalot in the RB position during the current season, but the Dutch coach desperately requires an attack-minded fullback.

Right back Frimpong is offensive and has been performing exceptionally recently. He has so far personally assisted in 17 goals this season across all competitions.

The young Dutch starlet helped Leverkusen win all three points under Xabi Alonso by scoring three goals and dishing out two assists in the team’s final four league matches.

In the 3-0 win over FC Schalke over the weekend, the former Celtic player scored and preserved a clean sheet.
