Report: Celtic right-back Jeremie Frimpong is already the quickest player in Scotland

According to The Athletic, Celtic right-back Jeremie Frimpong is already the quickest player in Scotland less than two weeks after arriving from Manchester City.

The 18-year-old signed a four-year contract with the Hoops on transfer deadline day and is expected to feature in manager Neil Lennon’s first-team, providing cover and stiff competition for Moritz Bauer.

Frimpong cost Celtic an initial £350,000, but the deal could rise to £1 million, given various clauses that will be activated, including first-team appearances and achievements.

The Dutch youngster helped City reach the under-21s the Checkatrade Trophy last eight, and he also impressed as the under-18s reached the FA Youth Cup final.
