\u201cWe played a bounce game, Man City brought an Under-21s team up. I went down to watch it and just saw this kid and was just like, \u2018Oh, he\u2019s good!\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n The right-back went on to help Celtic secure a domestic treble before his switch to Germany in 2021.<\/p>\n Frimpong\u2019s time at Leverkusen was a roaring success \u2013 winning the Bundesliga in 2023\/24 and finishing runners-up last term.<\/p>\n Lennon added: \u201cThen he got into the team and a year later he\u2019s off to Leverkusen. Look what he\u2019s done out there, won the league, won the double.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cGoing out there as a young man to Germany takes a bit of b****ks but he\u2019s excelled and now he\u2019s going to the Premier League champions. I\u2019m so happy for him.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Frimpong ready to compete for Liverpool right-back role The 24-year-old will face fierce competition at Liverpool, where Conor Bradley is also pushing to start following the exit of Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid.<\/p>\n Our Dutch right-back arrives off the back of a 48-game campaign with Leverkusen, where he registered 5 goals and 12 assists.<\/p>\n Despite a scathing review from Steve Nicol<\/a>, Neil Lennon\u2019s comments give further insight into the mentality that has helped our new signing thrive across three different countries.<\/p>\n Liverpool have also signed Florian Wirtz from the same Leverkusen side Frimpong starred in, and the pair have already shown how great their bond is on and off the pitch<\/a>.<\/p>\n But our latest right-sided arrival looks every bit ready to stake a claim in Arne Slot\u2019s plans \u2013 especially given how highly his former coach rates him.<\/p>\n \u201cIn training, he was ridiculous,\u201d<\/strong> Lennon said. \u201cMe and John Kennedy were looking at each other going: \u2018F**king hell, wow!\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n You can watch Lennon\u2019s comments on Frimpong via The Open Goal Podcast<\/a> on YouTube:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n![\"Jeremie](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ARTICLE-BODY-IMAGE-1-14.jpg\")
