Jeremie Frimpong's all-time stats for Bayer Leverkusen.

Jeremie Frimpong's all-time stats for Bayer Leverkusen.
Insane stats from a 22-year-old wingback.

With 1 goal and an assist in the weekend's victory against RB Leipzig, Frimpong continued his strong form from last season. He was among the best defenders in the Bundesliga last season in terms of goal contribution, meaning goals and assists.
Frimpong was the player with the second-highest goal contribution in the Bundesliga 2022/23 (15), with 8 goals and 7 assists. He was only surpassed by Raphael Guerreiro, who had a goal contribution of 16 with 4 goals and 12 assists.

Jeremie Frimpong's strengths lie in his offensive play, and he currently plays as a wingback under Xabi Alonso at Bayer Leverkusen. This position grants him the freedom to engage in the offensive aspects of the game. He excels at getting into the box, which likely contributes to his impressive goal and assist statistics. His strong performances have also garnered interest from top European clubs, with Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Arsenal reportedly keeping a close eye on him. He needs to improve defensively, not because he's weak in that area, but it's evident that his offensive focus sometimes leaves gaps defensively. At Leverkusen, the team currently operates with a 5-back formation, which provides him with three central defenders to cover his areas when he joins the attack. This might be one of the reasons there hasn't been a concrete bid for Frimpong yet – he needs to continue developing his defensive skills as well.

Jeremie Frimpong’s record in all competitions 2022/23: 
Games: 48
Goals: 9
Assists: 11

Jeremie Frimpong’s all-time record for Leverkusen: 
Games: 97
Goals: 13
Assists: 21

Indeed, those are impressive numbers for a 22-year-old wing-back, and his young age indicates significant room for further development in Frimpong. It's likely just a matter of time before Leverkusen faces challenges in holding onto him. Starting the season with both a goal and an assist suggests he's carrying forward the form he displayed at Leverkusen. If he continues in this vein, it could very well be his final season at the club.

With the transfer window still open, much can unfold in the remaining days. However, it's probable that a substantial offer would be required for Leverkusen to consider parting ways with their star player.
