Leverkusen Star Jeremie Frimpong In Ghana
Dutch and Bayer O4 Leverkusen right-back, Jeremie Frimpong has visited Ghana, his “roots”.
He touched down at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) on Monday, December 23, 2024.
The 24-year-old footballer born in the Netherlands is on a mission to reconnect with his origin after spending all his life away despite being born to Ghanaian parents.
In an interview, he disclosed he has never been distant from the Ghanaian origin as he has been speaking the Ghanaian language and eating Ghanaian meals.
“I have always been connected to my Ghanaian roots, both of my parents are Ghanaian. I eat Ghanaian food, I speak the language, so I feel like I have always been connected, but obviously, being here makes it extra special.”
He therefore expressed his excitement to be home.
“To come to this welcoming atmosphere, for the first time, amazing. This is my people. I am so happy to see everybody, and I am so happy to be in Ghana.”
