Celtic legend Danny McGrain has tipped Jeremie Frimpong to leave Celtic Park for a huge sum in the future if he keeps on producing the fantastic performances for the Hoops.
Speaking to the Scottish Sun outlet about the Celtic wonder kid Jeremie Frimpong Danny McGrain a former defender himself said
‘He’s only 19 — I can’t wait to see him play when he’s in his 20s. He’s full of confidence and I admire the runs he makes. He’s clever.
‘If he isn’t at the club for a long time, then the way he’s going I’m pretty sure there will be £50m in the bank for him!’
“I’ve not seen all of his games this season. But even from last year, when he first came in, he quickly looked a player.
"The first thing that caught my eye about him was his willingness to immediately take on the player in front of him.
"And, of course, his pace which is excellent for somebody of his size and build.
“Frimpong is about as tall as me — and that’s not tall, by any manner of means!
“He’s a player full of confidence and enthusiasm. He plays with such a freedom and I love young players operating like that
“Frimpong plays like a winger, almost. They said the same about me when I played," he continued.
“He’s also obviously playing in a team where the opportunities present themselves for him to go up the park.
“Sometimes as a wing-back, you can sprint down the flank too early, sometimes you can go too often.
“The opposition can suss you out and set up traps for you. When I first started playing I used to go all the time — because I could!
“I was physically equipped to do it but it was still a learning experience for me. As time went on I’d pick and choose my moments.
“But when you’re younger you’ve got that natural enthusiasm.''
“You also play without fear. That’s how I’m seeing Frimpong just now.
“He’s full of confidence and I admire the runs he makes. He’s clever.
“What’s more, most of the time he produces when he gets to the other end of the pitch, either with a cross for a team-mate or a shot on target.
“It’s looking very good for Frimpong and I really hope he can be at Celtic for a long time.
“If he isn’t at the club for a long time, then the way he’s going I’m pretty sure there will be £50m in the bank for him!
“Frimpong looks to be on the road to being an exceptionally good player — but he’s still young and has so much ahead of him.
“But all things being well, he’s going to be a top player. Frimpong is already a great prospect,” he ended.
