Ghana midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong has become a father for the first time after his girlfriend gave birth to a bouncing baby boy. �Father for the first time. Thank you God.Welcome Jerome Frimpong,� the Arsenal star twitted. Suffering a number of knee injuries has no doubt held his career back but his ability to make controversial comment on a regular basis has not endeared him to many Arsenal fans. There are of course, others who see him as something of a cult figure though. The out-of-favour 21-year-old sparked rumours of a race row when he tweeted: �Sometimes I wish I was white and English. #realtalk.� While the midfielder did not specifically relate the view to football reasons, Frimpong�s tweet came after he responded to a fellow user asking if he was in the squad for tonight�s Capital One Cup tie against Chelsea by saying, �Lol, I wanna laugh.� The initial tweets were eventually deleted by the midfielder, who later wrote: �Not every tweet is football related Goosh.� Frimpong also warned his followers not to believe any reports suggesting that there was a race issue within the club.
