Bayer Leverkusen has shown a strong interest in acquiring Ernest Poku, a dynamic 21-year-old right winger from AZ Alkmaar. The club is in search of a replacement for Jeremie Frimpong, who recently transferred to FC Liverpool for a significant fee of 40 million euros. Erik ten Hag, the head coach of B04, is particularly eager to work with Poku, who is recognized for his speed and offensive capabilities, akin to Frimpong. As Poku is in the final year of his contract with AZ Alkmaar, the Dutch club is aiming to secure a suitable transfer fee. Both clubs are enthusiastic about reaching an agreement swiftly, as they are keen to complete the deal within the current transfer window. In the previous season, Poku achieved eleven scorer points, recording three goals and eight assists in 42 competitive matches, indicating his potential for further development at Leverkusen.
