Dutch born Ghanaian defender Jeremie Frimpong says joining Celtic in the summer was the best decision of his life.

The teen sensation joined the Hoops from Manchester City on a four year deal and has greatly impressed, earning a first team place in manager Neil Lennon's side.

“I knew Celtic were a big team, and they’re known for playing young players and bringing young players on," he told the club's website.

“Celtic also are always involved in European football, in the Champions League and the Europa League.

“I thought I’d love to give it a try, and now, what, four, five months on, it was the best decision of my life so far.

“Everyone can see it, and I think things are going perfectly at the moment.

“I wouldn’t say I’ve had it easy. I’ve had to put in the hard work to get here, and that’s never going to stop.”

Following a busy start to the campaign, Frimpong and Celtic will travel to Dubai for mid season camping.

The 18-year old says it is time to further bond with his teammates.

"As soon as I met up with these guys, I bonded with them all instantly," said Frimpong.

“I’m cool with everyone in there, and I’m looking forward to spending some more time with them in Dubai.

“I want to go there, work hard, and keep myself in the manager’s plans the best I can.

“Bonding with the guys a bit more will be a bonus too.”
