Celtic defender Frimpong moves to Bayer Leverkusen
Jeremie Frimpong has completed his permanent move from Celtic to Bayer Leverkusen.
Frimpong still had two-and-a-half years left on his Celtic contract after joining Manchester City in 2019.
He has signed a four-year deal with the German club.
Celtic tweeted on Wednesday: “We would like to thank Jeremie Frimpong for his contribution to the club and wish him all the best for his future career.”
Celtic boss Neil Lennon said Frimpong expressed a desire to leave the club “six or seven weeks ago”, revealing the Premiership champions had received a “really robust offer” for the right-back.

Lennon said: “The club has made strides to renegotiate with Jeremie and his representatives and that wasn’t the case. The player made it clear to me, to [head of football operations] Nick [Hammond] and the board that he wanted to leave.
