Celtic youngster Jeremie Frimpong has come into Neil Lennon’s side and seriously impressed in recent weeks.
Frimpong only joined Celtic in the summer, but he has wasted no time making an impact at Parkhead.
The youngster scored his first goal for the Bhoys at the weekend, in their 4-0 victory over Aberdeen.
And Forrest says that he could see the quality of the teenager from his very first training session with the Bhoys.
“I feel old beside Jeremie. He is only 18 but he has come in and done really well,” the £12 million winger (The Sun) said.
“We signed him when we were on international break and straight away in training I think he impressed everyone.
“But I don’t think any of the boys are too surprised because we have seen him in training.
“Outside maybe people haven’t really heard of him. We could see his quality right away when he first came in.”
Frimpong could well retain his starting place in Neil Lennon’s side now, as his performances seem to be getting stronger and stronger.
The prospect is really starting to make a name for himself at Celtic, where he is pushing for a regular starting place.
Forrest also scored for Celtic in their comfortable victory over Aberdeen at the weekend, with the Bhoys looking back to their best now.
Celtic suffered a slight blip in form recently, but now are sat back on top of the Scottish Premiership table.
