“I follow my passion. I don’t follow the money too much. Obviously, playing for England, you get more money and more exposure but for me, as I said, I have always had a dream,” Frimpong told GTV.
“I remember when I was young, I used to watch Abedi Pele and Tony Yeboah. So, I have always had a passion for playing for Ghana. And, you know sometimes in life people make decisions that you from the outside you might not understand but for me, it’s one of the best feelings.
“Playing in Kumasi, playing for my family, and putting the Ghana shirt on are some of the best feelings that I’ve ever had in my career.
“Maybe, if I had played for England, who knows maybe things would have turned for the better but then again you know you always have to follow what you want to do.”
Frimpong last played for Turkish outfit Ermis Aradippou in 2017, before prematurely retiring from football two years later.
