Report: Southampton keeping a close eye on Celtic right-back Jeremie Frimpong

According to The Athletic’s David Ornstein, Southampton and several Premier League clubs are interested in bringing Celtic right-back Jeremie Frimpong back to England.

The 19-year-old has hit the ground running at Parkhead since leaving Manchester City last summer, starting 11 of Celtic’s last 14 Premiership games.

The Saints and co have been keeping an eye on Frimpong’s performances for Neil Lennon’s side and have sent scouts to run the rule over him on several occasions, and he has definitely impressed would-be suitors.

A January move for The Netherlands youth international is very unlikely, but Southampton and a couple of EPL clubs will be more than keen to lure the Celtic starlet back to England in the summer.
