Supporters of Celtic have recently reacted to a tweet confirming that Jeremie Frimpong has completed his move to Bayer Leverkusen.
On Wednesday evening, Sky Sports journalist Anthony Joseph shared a tweet claiming that the Dutchman had completed his move to the Bundesliga club.
According to his Twitter post, die Werkself sealed the arrival of the right-back from the Hoops for a fee of ‘more than £10m‘.
Joseph also shared that the Amsterdam-born 20-year-old had put pen to paper on a four-year deal with the German outfit.
After 18 games, Leverkusen currently occupy third in the Bundesliga table, having picked up 32 points, meaning they trail league leaders Bayern Munich by 10 points (per BBC).
Following Joseph’s tweet, lots of fans flocked to the post to air their thoughts on the transfer.
So, what did these Celtic fans have to say about Anthony Joseph’s tweet on Jeremie Frimpong’s transfer?
“I’ll complete the sums for you and based on your numbers Celtic will receive c£8.05m. We paid £0.3m so we are getting around 27 times what we paid for him. Face with tears of joy Hilarious isn’t it.”

Back in the summer of 2019, the Bhoys paid just £342,000 to seal the Dutchman’s arrival from Manchester City (as per Transfermarkt).
During his time at Celtic Park, his market value has risen to £3.6m, which still falls some way below what Leverkusen reportedly paid for the youngster.
Do you think Celtic have got a good deal for Jeremie Frimpong if the reported fee is correct?
Yes, that's a great deal
No, it's not that good
“Bought for 300k, sold for £10m+, owe Man city 30% sell on, not bad business for lad wanting away, can become alot better under decent coaching, always played with a smile even after gettin booted up n down the wing..good luck @JeremieFrimpong”

“Excellent business, the lack of end product or defensive sense was a hinderance. Plenty potential under a good coach tho, good luck to him”

Over the duration of the season so far, Frimpong made 22 appearances for the Hoops in the Premiership, in which he bagged one goal and provided two assists (per WhoScored).
His performances were fairly decent over the outings as he earned a 6.86/10 average rating, however, that only made him the 19th-best performer in the squad.
