While Frimpong is naturally suited for the right wing-back position, Slot acknowledges that he can also play further forward. This versatility was a key reason for bringing Frimpong to the team.

Slot explained that they considered the fact that Salah would be leaving the team to represent Egypt in the African Cup of Nations and would be away for around six games, which is a significant period in the Premier League.

Slot highlighted that Frimpong was signed for multiple reasons, including his ability to replace Salah if needed. While there are other options available to replace Salah, Frimpong is definitely one of them.
