Liverpool star Jeremie Frimpong sits down with Rog at the iconic Sandon pub to reflect on his first season in the Premier League and the journey that brought him there.

From his early days in Manchester City’s academy to his rise in Germany with Bayer Leverkusen, Frimpong opens up about the winding path that shaped his career. He shares what made that unforgettable season under Xabi Alonso so special, how his time abroad transformed his game, and what he’s determined to achieve now at Liverpool.

Along the way, Frimpong dives into the unexpected—how anime icons like Naruto and Goku inspire his mindset on and off the pitch—and reveals the toughest player he’s faced in training since arriving at Liverpool.
