Jeremie Frimpong to land Celtic major windfall as Bayer Leverkusen history-maker's stock skyrockets

Former Celtic star Jeremie Frimpong made history by helping Bayer Leverkusen to their first-ever Bundesliga title.

And the defender's stunning exploits in Germany look almost certain to swell Parkhead coffers this summer. Three-and-a-half years after leaving Glasgow, Frimpong has emerged as one of the best right-backs in world football after a remarkable few seasons at the BayArena.

The lightning-quick full-back has been a standout for Xabi Alonso's title-winners, scoring 12 goals and chipping in with 11 assists in 38 games as Bayern Munich surrendered their crown for the first time since 2012-13. Linked with £34million moves to the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United in the past, Frimpong's transfer value has skyrocketed - and will soar even more if Leverkusen pull off a Treble.

Die Werkself are already through to the final of the DFB Pokal where they will take on Kaiserslautern and have one foot in the Europa League semi-finals after defeating West Ham United 2-0 in the first leg of their last eight contest.

Frimpong's incredible form will have undoubtedly caught the attention of Europe's heavyweights and any bid-money move will see Celtic bank a significant windfall. It's understood Hoops chiefs inserted a 30 percent sell-on fee as part of Frimpong's bargain £11m switch to Leverkusen in January 2021.

The Netherlands international only penned a bumper new deal with the newly crowned Bundesliga champions in October, but should any big-money offers come their way, then Celtic would be in line to see a bigger piece of the pie.
