‘I can’t change his mind; “because his decision is to join Arsenal after speaking to Mikel Arteta” – Musiala CONFIRMED his £50m countryman is very likely to join Gunners
In recent months, Arsenal have emerged as a potential suitor for Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong, making him a key transfer target for next year. The Gunners see the 23-year-old as an upgrade on their current right-backs Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu. Mikel Arteta and Edu see Frimpong not only as a specialist on the right but also as a versatile player who can cover the entire midfield.
Expectations for Frimpong’s potential move have increased as there is talk that the €40m (£34m) buyout clause in his contract could be activated this summer, making him a tempting option for Arsenal.
Jeremie Frimpong made his name in 2021 when he joined Bayer Leverkusen after being in the youth system at Celtic and Manchester City. In the current season, he has made 20 appearances for the Bundesliga’s leading team, contributing an impressive six goals and nine assists.
Frimpong has made 115 appearances, 17 goals and 29 assists for the club. His playing style has been compared to Paris Saint-Germain and Morocco star Achraf Hakimi. Frimpong has the characteristics of a right winger in attack rather than a traditional right defender, as he is extremely quick in the final third and has a strong sense of decisive passing. Despite his offensive tendencies, he is also praised for his defensive efforts, which are characterized by quick attacks.
Jamal Musiala has officially confirmed that Jeremie Frimpong will soon move to Arsenal in the upcoming January transfer window. This revelation raises expectations in the Arsenal squad, who are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the talented Frimpong to strengthen their defensive capabilities.
Frimpong has been praised by well-known football personalities, including Leverkusen sporting director Simon Rolfes and former Celtic boss Neil Lennon. Rolfes emphasizes his technical strength, incredible speed and attacking mentality and underlines his enormous potential. Lennon describes Frimpong as an exceptional talent and praises the quality, speed and end product of his game and his outstanding physical fitness.
Jeremie Frimpong is an interesting choice for Arsenal as he offers a mixture of offensive flair and defensive skill. Although the likelihood of a transfer seems to be more linked to the summer than to the January window, the excitement over a possible signing underlines Frimpong’s growing reputation as a top talent in European football.
