Club career

Born in Accra,[1] he played in Italy with Vicenza Calcio youth team in the season 2010–11.[2] In summer 2011 he was on trials at Serbian champions FK Partizan, however, after staying for a month in the club, in early August he left and joined another Serbian top tier club, FK Vojvodina.[3] In Vojvodina he did not got a chance to debut in the league, and during the following winter break he moved to FK Napredak Kruševac, playing back then in the Serbian First League but with ambitions of returning to the SuperLiga. This would be achieved at the end of the 2012–13 season when Napredak finished top, and thus won promotion to the 2013–14 Serbian SuperLiga.[4]

After five years playing with Napredak, Frimpong signed with Red Star Belgrade on 13 January 2017.[5] Frimpong scored first goal in his professional career in 3–1 victory over OFK Bačka on 13 August 2017.[6]

On 16 June 2018, Frimpong moved to Hungarian side Ferencváros.[7]
