Jeremie Frimpong, the Bayer Leverkusen and Netherlands defender, has expressed his excitement and joy after arriving in Ghana for a one-week holiday. Frimpong, whose parents are from Ghana, had publicly stated his desire to visit the country after Bayer Leverkusen's Champions League victory over Inter Milan earlier in December.
Upon his arrival at the Kotoka International Airport on Sunday night, Frimpong was met with a warm welcome, and he couldn't hide his enthusiasm about being in Ghana for the first time. "This is my people, I'm so happy to be in Ghana," he exclaimed, clearly thrilled to be connecting with his Ghanaian roots.
Frimpong's connection to Ghana runs deep, despite playing for the Netherlands national team. Both his parents are Ghanaians, and he has always felt a strong affinity for the country and its culture. "I've always been connected to my Ghanaian roots," he said. "I eat Ghanaian food, I speak the language, so I feel like I've always been connected, but obviously being here makes it extra special."
The 22-year-old defender has been an integral part of Bayer Leverkusen's success, playing a key role in the team's Bundesliga victory last season. His impressive performances have earned him recognition, and he is widely regarded as one of the most promising young defenders in European football.
Frimpong's visit to Ghana is a significant moment for him, and he is determined to make the most of his time in the country. "I have to come to Ghana; this is where I am from," he said. "My blood is Ghanaian blood, so for sure I had to come here one day, and this is the right time to come."
As Frimpong explores his homeland and connects with his Ghanaian heritage, his visit is also generating excitement among Ghanaian football fans. The defender's presence in the country is a testament to the strong bonds that exist between Ghana and its diaspora community, and his visit is likely to inspire a new generation of Ghanaian footballers.
