Ex-Arsenal midfielder Frimpong joins Russia's FC Ufa

Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong has moved to Russia.

Frimpong has signed for newly-promoted Russian Premier League outfit FC Ufa, says the Daily Mail.

The 22-year-old was released by Barnsley at the end of last season and has decided to try to resurrect his career abroad.

Having come through the ranks at Arsenal, Frimpong represented England at Under-17 level - although he would go on to play for Ghana's senior team - and was seen as a hot prospect and a future star of the Gunners' midfield.
