LASK is reportedly in negotiations with Wesley Frimpong, the younger brother of Bayer Leverkusen's Dutch-Ghanaian star Jeremie Frimpong.

The Steel City team is keen on filling the right-back position and has set its sights on the 19-year-old Bolton Wanderers youth team player.

According to an exclusive report by sports journalist Ben Jacobs on X, LASK is in advanced discussions with Wesley Frimpong. Bayer Leverkusen is also keeping a close eye on the young player's development, but a summer transfer is unlikely for the German club.

However, LASK faces competition from other foreign clubs also interested in signing the young talent. With Wesley Frimpong's contract at the Bolton Academy expiring this summer, only training compensation would be required for his transfer. This makes the 19-year-old an attractive prospect for clubs looking to bolster their defense.

The right-back is expected to decline Bolton's offer of a new contract in order to pursue interests outside of England.
