Bundesliga winner Jeremie Frimpong prefers Liverpool players over Arsenal stars
Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong, fresh off their Bundesliga triumph, recently shared his dream XI from Premier League giants Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal (h/t Goal via Youtube). Notably, the star defender included players from Liverpool and City but omitted any from Arsenal.
Frimpong played a pivotal role in Leverkusen’s historic Bundesliga victory, marking the club’s first league title in over a century. His exceptional performance throughout the season, particularly as a defender, has been noteworthy, amassing an impressive tally of 13 goals and 11 assists in 41 appearances across all competitions at just 23 years old.
In an interview with Goal, Jeremie Frimpong revealed his best XI from the Premier League’s top three clubs: Liverpool, Manchester City, and Arsenal. His selection notably leaned heavily towards Liverpool, with stars like Alisson, Van Dijk, Konate, Andy Robertson, and Salah making the cut.
Frimpong’s choices reflect his high regard for Liverpool’s talent, acknowledging the prowess of players who may not always receive as much media attention as their counterparts from Arsenal and City.
Liverpool and Arsenal have emerged as fierce rivals in the race for the Premier League title, with managers Jurgen Klopp and Mikel Arteta leading their respective teams in the battle for dominance in the 2023/24 season.
While Arsenal may have the upper hand in terms of Premier League titles, Liverpool boasts a rich history and is considered one of the most successful clubs in European football. When it comes to silverware, the Merseysiders hold a significant advantage over their London counterparts.
In head-to-head matchups, Liverpool has historically dominated Arsenal in competitive fixtures, with 241 encounters dating back to 1893. The Reds have secured 95 victories compared to Arsenal’s 83, with 64 matches ending in draws.
