You can take the boy out of Arsenal, but you can’t take the Arsenal out of Emmanuel Frimpong.

There’s a certain pattern emerging in his career path since leaving England, following spells at Arsenal, Wolves, Charlton and Fulham.

Frimpong originally moved to Russian side Ufa, before joining FC Arsenal Tula, which confused the hell out of everyone.

Now the 25-year-old has made another Arsenal-themed move by joining AFC Eskilstuna who were, up until last year, simply called AFC United.

So three years after leaving one AFC he’s turned up at another.

Frimpong’s latest club have only been in existence since 1991, a year before Frimpong was born.

The club, located around 70 miles away from Stockholm, started life out in the eight tier of Swedish football under the name FC Cafe Opera.

But after merging with Vasby IK a new club, Vasby United, was formed, eventually becoming AFC United, and then AFC Eskilstuna.

Frimpong will be competing at the 7,800-capacity Tunavallen stadium and would be advised to bring some gloves, given the average temperature in February is 0°c.

But the one-time Ghanaian international will have a fellow Englishman to help him settle in, thanks to the presence of fellow former Arsenal academy player Jernade Meade.

Meade played for Arsenal in a 2-1 Champions League loss against Olympiacos during the 2012/13 season then moved to Eskilstuna last January following stints at non-league sides Hadley and St Albans City.

Hopefully he’s picked up a few words of Swedish by now, so he can pass them on to Frimpong.
