Celtic can help me win Ballon d'Or - Jeremie Frimpong

Ghanaian defender Jeremie Frimpong is confident Celtic can play a key role in helping him win the Ballon d'Or in the future.

Frimpong, who joined the Hoops last summer from Manchester City has impressed this season, exceeding all expectations and earning the admiration of both fans and coaches in the league.

The 20-year-old made 14 appearances in all competitions for Celtic, scored two goals and provided three assists.

He also won the Scottish Premier League title as well as the League Cup.

"I want to be the best player there is. I want to play for the biggest team ever. I want to win the Champions League. I want to hold the World Cup. I want to win as many trophies as I can," he told the Daily Mail.

"Look at Virgil Van Dijk, there's the example. Played for Celtic; four years later he nearly wins the Ballon D'Or at Liverpool. He was so close.

"So can I be the best player there is? Yeah, I think I can be. Celtic can help me with that. The history here is crazy. They are so good - one of the biggest teams there is," he added.

The highly-rated right-back has been a subject of a Premier League move this summer with Everton emerging as a candidate to secure the services of the promising youngster.
