Amsterdam Born Ghanaian defender Jeremie Frimpong has stated his desire to play for the Dutch national team despite the latest interest from Ghana.
The 18-year-old right-back is eligible to represent three countries as he was born in Amsterdam to Ghanaian and Dutch parents and raised in England.
The former Manchester City player told Celtic TV about his international desires, making it clear he would like to play for Holland and won't write Ghana off.
“There is interest in me from Ghana but right now I want to play for Holland although I won’t write off Ghana. I could play for England as well. If that came about it would be between those three but I don’t have Scottish connections,” Frimpong said.
The 18-year-old moved to Man City at age seven and admits he needs to catch up with the Dutch language if he’s to go all the way to the Oranje.
“I’m still working on my Dutch! I know how to speak it a little. If I do play for the national team I will try to learn it.
“The language isn’t the easiest to learn. The way they speak is fast so you just have to listen to what they are saying and look at their lips carefully. My sister speaks it fluently. She has been teaching me little bits but it’s hard.
