Former Ghanaian midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong lashes out at ex-teammate Samir Nasri

Published on: 21 August 2019

Ex-Ghana international Emmanuel Frimpong has lashed out at ex-teammate Samir Nasri, saying he will never like him even if he's given $5m.

The 27-year-old midfielder, who has retired from football due to injury made this revelation when speaking to The Athletic.

"I have always had so much respect for senior players," Frimpong, now retired, he said when discussing Anderlecht midfielder Nasri.

“You can ask Aaron Ramsey, you can ask Jack Wilshere. I never disrespected anybody.

"But for me, the truth is I've never liked Nasri and I will never, ever like this guy. Even if he gives me five billion dollars, I will still not like him."

Things really came to head during a 2011 Carling Cup tie, after which the pair faced off post-game and were separated by respective teammates.

“During the game, he told me he could buy me," added Frimpong. "That's how stupid this guy is. He probably could then because he had millions, but that's no respect."

Frimpong began his career at Arsenal, where he won an FA Youth Cup and two Premier Academy League titles.
