Jeremie Frimpong joked he was “hiding” from his teammates as he gatecrashed a live TV interview after Bayer Leverkusen’s Bundesliga title win.

The wing-back, 23, came to speak to ESPN’s Archie Rhind-Tutt as the beer-fuelled celebrations unfolded at BayArena.

Leverkusen beat Werder Bremen 5-0 to secure their first-ever title on Sunday (14 April), winning the league with five games to spare.

“The coach drenched me, Edmond Tapsoba tried to drench me - and he’s looking for me again,” Frimpong said, apologising for the smell of beer as he joined Rhind-Tutt.

He also called the reporter “handsome” and complimented his outfit.
