Jeremie Frimpong, born on the 10th of December 2000, hails from the Netherlands. A proficient defender, Frimpong primarily plays in the position of right back for Bayer Leverkusen where he proudly wears the number 30 jersey. Standing at a height of 5ft 8in (1.74m), with a weight of approximately 11 stone (70kg), Frimpong has also had the honour of representing his birth nation of the Netherlands in their national football team.
Having taken on his formative football training in England, Frimpong was drafted as a trainee into Premier League club Manchester City in July 2015. His progress and development there were noted, leading to a transfer to Celtic in the Scottish Premiership in September 2019, for a fee of approximately £350k.
His first season with the Celts (2019 - 2020) saw Frimpong make an impressive 14 first team appearances and contributions of two goals in league matches. In the following season (2020 - 2021), Frimpong continued to leave an imprint in the Celtic squad, making 22 first team appearances with one goal to his name in league matches.
However, January 2021 marked a change as Frimpong transferred from Celtic to Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, Germany; a significant move that cost around £12m. He made his debut in the 2020 - 2021 season, and since then his performance has been consistently strong. He played in 31 matches and scored nine goals in the 2023 - 2024 season, paving the way for a solid current season (2024 - 2025) with 27 appearances and four goals to date.
Frimpong's football journey also includes international performances. He participated in Euro 2024 for the Netherlands, clocking one start and two appearances as a substitute, and the Euro Qualifiers between 2022 and 2024 with one appearance as a substitute. He represented Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League for the 2023 - 2024 season, scoring three goals in ten matches, and in the Nations League 2024 - 2025, he started in three matches and made two appearances as a substitute. He's also contributed in the DFL-Supercup 2024 - 2025 and Champions League 2024 - 2025 seasons for Bayer Leverkusen.
