Bayer Leverkusen wing-back Jeremie Frimpong has revealed his plans to visit Ghana, his parents’ homeland, for the first time.
The 24-year-old Dutch-born to Ghanaian parents naturalised for the Netherlands after several attempts from Ghana’s FA was futile to have him play for the Black Stars.
The winger-back, ranked among the best in his role, has chopped some successes with Leverkusen’s in recent times.
“My parents are Ghanaian, and yeah, so every time I speak with my parents, it’s Twi. They taught me the language, so when I’m home, I speak Twi with them,” Frimpong said in an interview with Germany-based Nigerian reporter Oma Akatugba.
