The Dutchman completed a £30 million ($40m) switch to Anfield from Bayer Leverkusen earlier in the summer as Trent Alexander-Arnold's replacement, continuing his own quest to become one of the best in the business.

Frimpong first picked Brazilian pair Cafu and Marcelo over Real Madrid and Chelsea icons Roberto Carlos and Ashley Cole, respectively, and Paolo Maldini and Bayern favourite Philipp Lahm over Javier Zanetti and Man Utd legend Gary Neville. He then chose Cafu over Marcelo "because he's a right-back", and Maldini over Lahm. Then, in his final decision, he opted for Cafu over his fellow AC Milan legend Maldini.
