"Jeremie is a perfect example of the path taken by Bayer 04 Leverkusen with success so often: Bringing in a young, highly talented player from a smaller league, developing him into a key player to achieve targets and thereby making him attractive to absolute top European clubs. With this transfer we can and will shape the Leverkusen squad of the future," said Bayer 04 sporting managing director Simon Rolfes before adding: "Jerry was a key player in our double winning team, became a crowd favourite with his special approach and also thanks to his good performances. Now he wants to show what he can do in the Premier League at Liverpool. We wish him all the best."
For Frimpong, Bayer 04 are "a very special club in my hopefully long career as a pro. What we've all achieved here is incredible. Winning the double was a moving and unforgettable experience for me because so few people believed we could do it," said the 24-year-old and he declared: "I will always be a Leverkusener. This club remains an important part of my personal journey and I thank Bayer 04 and the fans for a fantastic time."
