Neil Lennon admits Celtic go a 'bit lucky' with Jeremie Frimpong as the Hoops get ready for a big windfall from his next transfer.
The Hoops snapped up the full-back from Manchester City for around £300,000 revealed the man who signed him for the Scottish champions as they get set to bank a big lump sum with the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal said to be fighting it out to land the speedy right-back this summer from Bayer Leverkusen. The Bundesliga outfit bought him from Celtic with a sell-on clause inserted in that arrangement.
The 22-year-old is the perfect example of the player trading model at Parkhead of buy low and develop and then sell on for a profit. It's a similar system used for the likes of Fraser Forster, Victor Wanyama and Virgil van Dijk over the years as Lennon opened up on how he first noticed the 'deceptive' youngster. Speaking to www.bettingsites.co.uk Lennon said: “He was brilliant for me. I saw him playing for Man City’s Under-21s at Lennoxtown and I really liked the look of him.
