Jeremie Frimpong, born in Amsterdam on 10 December 2000 (age 25), is a Dutch right-back with Liverpool. Celtic came early in his senior career, when he joined from Manchester City in September 2019 for around £350,000.
His time in Glasgow was brief but useful, both for the player and the club. Celtic gave him first-team football, and in January 2021 he left for Bayer Leverkusen for around £12m. As pieces of business go, it was not exactly a hardship.
Leverkusen is where Frimpong’s career properly settled. Across five seasons there, he made 133 league appearances and scored 23 league goals, an unusually heavy return for a defender. His most productive league campaign came in 2023-24, with nine goals in 31 appearances.
He is now at Liverpool, wearing squad number 30. In 2026-27, he has made 13 appearances across all competitions, including the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League, with his goal coming in the FA Cup. His market value is around £32.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Frimpong’s career has run from Manchester City to Celtic, then on to Bayer Leverkusen and Liverpool. Celtic were an important early step, but Leverkusen remains the spell that has given the career its main shape.
