Emmanuel Frimpong: More to me than tackling

Published on: 21 December 2011

Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong says there is more to his game than his tackling and defensive work.

The 19-year-old has quickly acquired cult status among the Club’s supporters for his tough tackling, enthusiastic on-pitch approach and his infectious personality.

"Sometimes I'll go on Twitter the day before a game to see what the fans are saying and people are suggesting I'll deal with any players they don't like - 'Frimpong will get him' and that kind of thing,'' he told the Official Arsenal Magazine.

"They seem to have created a 'wanted' list of people for me to go for - I don't know what they think of me!

"I think I'm going to have to make a YouTube video to show the fans the other things that I am good at. But then again, I'm not exactly Lionel Messi!"
