Bayer Leverkusen star, Jeremie Frimpong, performed Cristiano Ronaldo's iconic 'Siuu' celebration after his sublime goal for the Netherlands on Thursday, June 6.

Frimpong, who played an important role in Leverskusen's impressive 51-game unbeaten streak in the 2023–24 campaign, transferred his form at club football to the national team.

After scoring 14 goals and bagging 12 assists for Leverkusen as the Bundesliga side won a domestic double this season, Frimpong looks set to be a real weapon for the Netherlands at the Euros, GOAL reports.

The 23-year-old was a nightmare in their warm-up fixture against Canada, and it came as no surprise that his sumptuous cross into the box was met by Memphis Depay, who opened the scoring.

Jeremie took matters into his own hands, scoring a stunning goal with his weaker left foot. He drove an unstoppable shot into the top corner after his initial pass was blocked by a Canadian defender, per CBC Sports.

Jeremie Frimpong hits Ronaldo's 'Siuu'

After his goal, which doubled the lead for the 1988 European champions, Frimpong wheeled away before paying tribute to Ronaldo by performing the 'Siuu' celebration.

CR7's 'Siuu' is easily the most popular goal celebration in modern-day football, and it comes as no surprise that the Dutch wing-back, who was deployed in a more advanced role against Canada, performed it after netting against Canada.

What happened next?

The Leverkusen star was afforded a much-needed rest after his stupendous output. Ajax's Steven Bergwijn replaced him in the 62nd minute as the Dutch added two more goals to see off the North American side.

He would hope to have the same effect when Ronald Koeman's men face Iceland in their final preparatory game for the European Championship in Germany.

Memphis, Frimpong showcase Ghanaian dance in friendly

In the same game, Sports Brief reported that Memphis Depay and Jeremie Frimpong showcased the Ghanaian dance 'Adowa' after the former scored the opener.

Depay promptly celebrated, displaying his vibrant cultural background through synchronised hand and foot movements.

Frimpong, who shares Ghanaian heritage with Depay, joined in the celebration, further emphasising the duo's connection to their roots.
