Having managed just 35 outings across all competitions, Koeman elaborated on his decision: "I didn't take Frimpong because of what I saw in the season. Not that I needed it because I knew it, but Paris Saint-Germain were a great example (last season) of pace when it comes to the forwards — to win the Champions League from open play and be creative."We thought, I thought, that was something we could add to this team and what we've tried to do.

But unfortunately we've only been able to use one player (we signed) who has a lot of pace in our front three and that is Hugo (Ekitike)."When quizzed about his injury difficulties this campaign, Frimpong opened up to the Daily Telegraph: "It's never happened in my career. I've had three injuries and, on top of that, the team is not doing so well, like we should do."There have been a lot of challenges.
