In the current world of football, only Hakimi and Kunde can be said to be in Arnold’s league, followed by Timo, Fringe, and Pedro. Of these, Arnold is the most reliable and best in attack. Fringe goes hand in hand with Hakimi. He is based on speed and ball handling. If you look at the rest of the players, they are the only players that Liverpool cannot sign. That is why Liverpool can fill the gap they need.
Fringe was the main weapon in Bayer Leverkusen’s undefeated Bundesliga title last year. The defensive wing pairing of Fringe and Grimaldo was a fearsome one for any opponent. Fringe played (47) games, scored (14) goals and made (12) assists. Even if he has the opportunity to attack more as a wingback, these figures are still terrifying for a player who also has to play on the wing. This season, Freiburg has played (48) games, scored (5) goals and made (9) assists. His high game rate shows his consistency, injury-free performance and his goal + assist ratio is also at the top level.
If we dig deeper, he uses sprints a lot. He is the second fastest sprinter in the Bundesliga and has run over (1000) kilometers during his Leverkusen career. A sprint is a run of over (25) kilometers per hour. He also has the fastest running speed. Arnold is a player who passes the ball, and Freiburg will fill that gap with his speed. Because he is a strong runner, his number of carries is excellent. While Arnold is a progressive passer, Freiburg is a progressive runer. Freiburg not only carries a lot, but also carries a long distance. Therefore, he is one of the players with the highest ball carrying ability, not only among the current defenders in world football, but also among all footballers.
