Emmanuel Frimpong suffers another career setback

Remember when Emmanuel Frimpong was considered a potential star for the future?

It feels like a lifetime ago now and many of you reading this will be wondering where on earth the former Arsenal midfielder is playing his football these days.

It’s now emerged, courtesy of the respected French publication L’Equipe, that Frimpong has been released by Arsenal Tula after only three matches.

So, what next for old Frimps? A return to England? Would any club in the Football League even take him right now?

According to the former Sky Sports journalist Pete O’Rourke, Frimpong has already been snapped up by a new club.

But it’s a club you’ve probably never heard of unless you’re into your Swedish football.

It’s believed that Frimpong has agreed a deal to join AFC Eskilstuna, who were recently promoted to the Swedish top flight and kick off their 2017 campaign in April.

Best of luck, Emmanuel.
