Jeremie Frimpong, once a budding talent at Celtic after being signed from Man City’s academy, has played a pivotal role in Bayer Leverkusen’s historic Bundesliga triumph.
Under the leadership of former Liverpool and Real Madrid star Xabi Alonso, Leverkusen completed an undefeated season, a feat that highlighted Frimpong’s rapid development since his days at Celtic Park.
Known for his exceptional pace and infectious optimism, Frimpong’s transition to Leverkusen has has not been easy with the club struggling at one time and flirting with relegation just 18-months ago. Now they can call themselves champions!
At Celtic, Frimpong was a fan favourite due to his brilliant attitude and displays on the field. He was the type of player to make things happen. His development under Alonso’s guidance has not only benefited the team but also positioned him as a key right-back in European football.
With the season coming to a close and Leverkusen champions, Frimpong’s future is the subject of much speculation. Reports suggest a lucrative move could be on the horizon for him this summer.
