Frimpong opens up about Ghana
Despite choosing to represent the Netherlands at the international level, Frimpong has not hidden his love for the West African nation.
Frimpong disclosed that he was a huge fan of the Black Stars during the World Cup in South Africa in 2010.

The 24-year-old launched his Pathway Project during his visit to Ghana. The project will support the less privileged in society as the player strives to give back to the community.
Frimpong spent time with children from the Osu Children's Home, where he donated several items, including sports kits to the orphanage home.
"I appreciate that I can help you guys. I can do more for you guys, and that is what it means for us; I am in a position where I can help you guys," said Frimpong. "I am in a position where I can help these children, put smiles on their faces and this is why I play football. To help people and not just my family," he added.
