Frimpong full of praise for Celtic after debut – Good news for the Hoops

18-year-old right-back Jeremie Frimpong has called Celtic the “biggest team in Scotland” after his debut for the club on Wednesday evening.

The former Manchester City Academy star joined the Hoops during the summer transfer window and made his first appearance in the 5-0 victory over Partick Thistle in the League Cup quarter-final.

The youngster was named as the club’s Man of the Match after an assured display and he thoroughly enjoyed the experience. As quoted on the official club website, he said:

It was amazing, a dream come true. It was my first professional game and the fans – I love them already. To hear them when I came off was amazing. 

I’m very grateful that the manager gave me a chance. It’s a dream come true to play for Celtic. It’s the biggest club in Scotland so it’s amazing. He gave me a chance and hopefully, I can do more.

Should Celtic be encouraged by his comments?

Absolutely. The teenager spoke with such passion and desire following his debut, which shows that he possesses the hunger to succeed at the club.

It’s very easy for young players to get carried away in the modern era but Frimpong made it clear that the hard work for him starts now, which proves that he has an excellent mentality and work ethic.

This is exactly what Celtic need in their squad and his efforts will serve as a motivation to several other Academy stars at the club.
