Bayer Leverkusen director Simon Rolfes says he is not shocked to see right-back Jeremie Frimpong being on the radar of most of the big teams in Europe.
Frimpong, 21, has emerged as a January transfer target of Real Madrid, Manchester United and Chelsea following his sterling performance in the Bundesliga which has seen him scored five goals as a right-back.
“We are very relaxed with Jeremie. It would be fatal if he didn’t draw attention to himself from big clubs with these performances,” Rolfes told Sky Germany.
“He is very conspicuous with his way of playing and is an enormously important player for us. I told him that he will still get his playing time with his quality within the tournament.
“He can decide a game with a single action because he’s incredibly quick and good at dribbling. We’ll be happy when he’s back [after the World Cup] with us. Jeremie has a long-term contract at Leverkusen, so we’re very relaxed.”
Frimpong was part of the Dutch team which reached the quarter finals of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar but he didn’t play a single game.
