Personal Life

He was born in Abidjan, Coté de Ivoire on  January 4,  2001. His younger brother Jeremy Frimpong is also a professional footballer. His speed across the pitch makes him a very different proposition for the opposition.

He spent his early life in Cote de Ivoire and had his life normal just like other ordinary kids. This is where he discovered his football talent while playing around with his mates. It’s said that those people who hold the name Odilo are Judaism by religion so we suppose he does. He is currently not in a relationship for personal reasons, or at least, he has kept it private.

Career

After his youth training with ASEC Mimosa, he played at the youth tournament known as the Gothia Cup where he displayed his technics and this attracted the Swedish Allsveskan club Hammarby IF which invited him to train with them for some years.

In 2019, he signed his first professional contract with Hammarby. His first debut for the club was in a match against Varbergs Bols and they won. At the club, he made nine appearances being voted as the man of the match.

A few months at the club, Hammerby agreed to lend him to Club Brugge where they received a fee of $4.97 million as a transfer fee. The amount could increase due to bonuses and a rate of 10 percent sell-on clause.

Luxury Collection

Success has favoured him at 20 years but still seems he has more to do. He has not purchased any car and most of the time, he is seen on bus rides while going for practice. It’s a matter of time before he starts flaunting fleets of cars and houses just like other footballers. We neither expect him to buy ordinary cars but high-end ones like Lamborghini, Range Rover or Rolls-Royce which most of his career mates own. All the best to him.

He has not purchased his own house but this should happen soon.
