Jeremie Frimpong Issues Verdict On Who Is Superior Out Of Sergio Aguero And Robin Van Persie

Bayer Leverkusen defender Jeremie Frimpong claims he would rather have played alongside former Arsenal and Manchester United striker Robin van Persie than Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero.

Frimpong was speaking to Goal’s TikTok channel when he was asked to compare the two forwards. He chose Aguero in three categories: dribbling, strength and ‘clutch moments’, while he went with van Persie’s shooting, passing, football IQ and leadership. Despite favouring his fellow Dutchman in his responses, though, Frimpong did look back with affection at one key moment involving Aguero: the famous goal against QPR in 2012:

“Bro, I was ball boy. I ran on the pitch.”
