Jeremie Frimpong celebrates his 25th birthday today, at a time when Liverpool fans are eager to see him back on the pitch. The Dutch right back has been out since suffering an injury after just 19 minutes in Liverpool’s 5–1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt, as reported by SoftFootball.
Since then, he has not featured in several matches, including their recent Champions League victory over Inter Milan. The milestone birthday gives fans a chance to look back at Frimpong’s journey. Born in Amsterdam to Ghanaian parents, he moved to Manchester at the age of seven, a change that shaped both his personality and football path.
He joined Manchester City’s academy at nine, where his speed, agility and playful personality stood out. Although he did not break into City’s first team, his hunger for regular minutes pushed him to Celtic in 2019. His impact in Scotland was immediate, earning trophies and fan admiration before Leverkusen came calling.
His move to Bayer Leverkusen in 2021 became the turning point of his career. Under Xabi Alonso, Frimpong grew into one of Europe’s most dangerous attacking fullbacks. His performances in the 2023–24 season, which saw Leverkusen finish unbeaten, raised his profile across Europe.
Liverpool eventually triggered his release clause in May 2025, signing him to a five-year deal they believed would secure their right flank for the long term. Life at Anfield started brightly, but recurring fitness issues disrupted his rhythm.
Despite this, the club has remained patient, and manager Arne Slot expects him to resume training ahead of the Brighton match. Supporters have shared throwbacks of his City academy days, Celtic breakthroughs and Leverkusen highlights, mixing jokes about his limited appearances with genuine excitement for his return.
Liverpool shared a post on their official X account wishing Jeremie Frimpong a happy 25th birthday, celebrating his journey so far and expressing excitement for his future at the club as he continues his recovery and looks forward to returning to action.
As he turns 25, Frimpong enters a key phase of his career. His pace, energy and attacking quality can still become valuable weapons for Liverpool once he regains full fitness. For now, fans will hope that this birthday marks the beginning of a healthier and more impactful chapter for one of Europe’s most electrifying right backs.
