# Manchester City: Fans regret club letting Jeremie Frimpong move to Celtic

**After Manchester City let promising youngster Jeremie Frimpong move to Scottish champions Celtic on transfer deadline day [in the summer](https://www.67hailhail.com/news/jeremie-frimpong-explains-why-left-manchester-city-for-celtic/), supporters have since watched on as he impresses more and more north of the border – prompting a section of them to have regrets over letting him leave the Etihad Stadium for pastures new.**

Frimpong, who plied his trade for [City’s U23s last campaign](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jeremie-frimpong/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/484547), has so far amassed [two goals and two assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jeremie-frimpong/profil/spieler/484547) in seven SPFL games for the Hoops from right-back – [impressing fans and pundits](https://www.67hailhail.com/match/bbcs-bonner-and-dodds-impressed-by-superb-jeremie-frimpong-display-v-hibs/) alike with how quick he has adapted to life in Scotland.

The 19-year-old was recently described by manager Neil Lennon as [‘one of the best kids’](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50803089) he’s seen – with such high praise for the youngster potentially sparking a debate into why the Sky Blues let him go with no buy-back clause.

As a result, City supporters have taken to social media and voiced their regret over the deal – here’s what they had to say.

> The boy looks the real deal in Celtic holding his own against much bigger opposition and attacking threat is amazing
