Emmanuel Frimpong, remember him? The Ghanaian footballer who made a handful of appearances for Arsenal including a red card in a Premier League game against Liverpool? Nope.

How about one of the creators of the famous phrase, dench? Yep, that's the one, Lethal Bizzle's mate.

Well, he has just made yet another odd transfer in what is turning out to be quite the journeyman career.

After struggling at the likes of Charlton, Wolves, Barnsley and Fulham, Frimpong made the odd choice to move to Russia, signing for FC Arsenal Tula, no they're not the Gunners' offspring club.

With a clear admiration for the name, or perhaps the abbreviation, the 25-year-old has made another move which hints at his adoration for his first employers.

The Ghanaian has now made the move to Swedish outfit, AFC Eskilstuna, as per Dream Team FC, a club who were only founded in 1991, one year before Frimpong was born.

The outfit are based around 70 miles from Sweden's capital, Stockholm, and play at a 7,800 capacity stadium known as Tunavallen.

Luckily for Frimpong, fellow Arsenal academy graduate Jernade Meade is already at the club and will hopefully help his former colleague settle in.

Meade's name may not ring any bells but he did once play for the Gunners in a Champions League group game against Olympiakos - they lost 2-1, but qualification was already secured.

After that, the tiny left-back, who stands at around 5'5', disappeared on a few non-league loans with Hadley and St Albans City before making the curious move to Scandinavia.
