The Reds crashed out of the Champions League on penalties to Paris Saint-Germain last Tuesday to end their treble dreams.

Then, their hopes of a domestic double were dashed after a limp 2-1 loss to Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday.

Under the guidance of manager Xabi Alonso, Frimpong has been instrumental in Leverkusen's success, notably during their unbeaten Bundesliga victory last season.

The report further claims that Slot and Frimpong, both Dutch, communicate regularly and have a good relationship.

Arsenal legend Paul Merson has pleaded for perspective on Liverpool's difficult week.

Speaking on Sky Sports, he said: "That was a tough week for Liverpool but let's get it in perspective, if someone said at the start of the season Liverpool would be champions, you wouldn't have believed them, would you?

"When you sit down in the cold light of day, if you're a Liverpool fan or player, the Premier League is the Holy Grail.

Particularly for a club like Liverpool, with a rich history in the Champions League, if you were given a choice about what silverware to claim this term?

To lose one game in the Premier League is just mind-blowing.

I think everybody's got to just get it in perspective."
