Reflecting on his time at Manchester City whiles speaking in a post-match interview, Jeremie Frimpong shared, “When I was at Manchester City I would speak to, then when came I’d speak to him. They gave me tips.
“I’d been there since I was young and you want to try to get in the team, but they have Walker and they have just bought in Cancelo”.
He added, “I thought I was ready for the first-team now, so when Celtic came in I took the opportunity.”
The youngster has already won the hearts of the Celtic fans and will be key for manager Neil Lennon throughout the ongoing season.
