Just before the final whistle in the game against VfL Wolfsburg at the BayArena in October 2022, Frimpong accidentally kicked the ball at a young boy in the North Stand and hit him in the face, he apologised and presented him with his shirt after the end of the game – a gesture that the young Bayer 04 fan will remember for a long time.

Also entitled to vote are the team captains of the 18 Bundesliga clubs (30%).
