The Netherlands international put pen to paper on a long-term contract with the Premier League Champions on Friday after successfully passing a medical.
Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com for the first time, Frimpong said: "It went quite easy. Liverpool came and said they had interest, and obviously for me, it was a no-brainer.
"For me, it was like, "'Whatever you guys do, just get this done, [speaking to] my agents: ‘Just get this done."'
"Liverpool fans, I’m going to give my all, my energy, my work-rate, and hopefully we can win together, we celebrate together, get everything together."
"I’m just excited to be here. Thank you guys for accepting me, and I won’t let you guys down, and I’ll give you the energy that you guys want," he added.
The versatile right-sided player arrives at Anfield after four-and-a-half seasons in Germany with Leverkusen, where he made 190 appearances, scored 30 goals, and produced 44 assists.
Frimpong was part of the Leverkusen side that made history by winning the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal in 2023-24, with their record 51-match unbeaten run ending in the Europa League final.
