Bayer Leverkusen star Jeremie Frimpong has gone viral after his jubilant interview following the club's first ever Bundesliga title triumph on Sunday.
Xabi Alonso's side thumped Werder Bremen 5-0 to clinch the historic and elusive piece of silverware in a remarkable campaign which has seen Frimpong emerge as one of the club's major stars.
Frimpong - who started his career at Man City before moving to Celtic and eventually joining Leverkusen in 2021 - has been integral in the club's amazing rise to the top of the table, contributing with 12 goals and seven assists in all competitions.
While the 23-year-old had experience of winning silverware in Scotland after claiming the treble of the Scottish Premiership, the cup and league cup in 2019-20, he was understandably overjoyed over Leverkusen's monumental achievement to hold off giants Bayern Munich.
A clip of a relaxed Frimpong has now circulated online with fans left in stitches over his candid attitude and positive energy while chatting the Bundesliga English's interviewer Archie Rhind-Tutt.
