Bayer Leverkusen fullback Frimpong commits to Holland over England

Bayer Leverkusen fullback Jeremie Frimpong has committed his international future to Holland.

The former Manchester City and Celtic defender also qualifies for England and Ghana.

But he wants to play for Holland, despite not being able to speak Dutch. He explained: "I was born in the Netherlands, so for me it's simple: I want to play for Oranje. The big Oranje."

Frimpong speaks little or no Dutch because he grew up in England.

“But I can understand. Hopefully I will learn some useful words with the Dutch Juniors in the coming period," he added.
