Dutch-born Ghanaian defender Jeremie Frimpong will wear his favourite number 30 jersey at Bayer Levekusen.

The 20-year-old joined the Bundesliga side on a four year deal on Wednesday to bring to an end a successful one and a half year at Celtic.

Frimpong wore the same number during his time at Parkhead.

The right back enjoyed a good spell at Celtic winning the Scottish title and the Scottish Cup.

This season, Frimpong made 22 appearances for the club, scoring a goal and providing two assists.

He joins fellow Dutch international with Ghanaian heritage Timothy Fosu Mensah who also moved to the German club in the winter transfer window.

Frimpong was named in Europe’s fast rising stars of 2020 following his splendid displays for Celtic.

Despite Celtics’ desire to keep him, the young defender opted to leave following a discussion with manager Neil Lennon.

Frimpong is yet to make a senior appearance for the Netherlands making him eligible to play for Ghana the country of his parents.
