“Jeremie (Frimpong) has had many outstanding seasons at Leverkusen, and it was no surprise that a team as big as Liverpool were interested in him,” Tella told Flashscore.
“He is one of those footballers who deserves the world because he's done so much for the team (Bayer Leverkusen) to help us, and he's done so much for himself as a player.”

“If you're good enough, you can play anywhere, and he's shown it's not just that he only plays in Germany, he's played international level, he's played Champions League, and he's done well.
“I wouldn't say there'll be any surprise for anyone to see how good he is there. Definitely, there should be no surprise to see how well he goes,” the former Southampton winger added.
