Jeremie Frimpong rewarded for Celtic form with Netherlands under-20 call-up

Celtic sensation Jeremie Frimpong has been given the nod to join the Netherlands under-20 squad for their upcoming match against the Czech Republic.

The right-back has garnered acclaim for a series of rampaging attacking performances where his pace and trickery down the right and vivacious, effervescent personality has endeared him to the Hoops ' support.

The 18-year-old was signed to little fanfare on transfer deadline day in a deal from Manchester City - where the player had spent his entire youth career.

Frimpong has three caps at under-19 level but an appearance would mark his first at the higher age group.

Neil Lennon has been quick to sing the praises of his young star and the impression he has already left in the East End of Glasgow.

He said: "I think there's a bit of a love affair going on with him and everyone. We're just really enjoying him and you can see that energy and quality he brings to the team.

"He's having a fantastic time of it and long may that continue.

"It's not just about individuals, the team and the squad have been outstanding for the last six or seven weeks."
