Ghana midfielder Solomon Asante has been handed a two-month trial with English club Stoke City, GHANAsoccernet.com can exclusively reveal.
The 22-year-old has caught the eye of the English top flight side following his excellent performance for both club and country.
Asante excelled for Berekum Chelsea in their maiden campaign in the CAF Champions League which earned him his debut call to the Ghana national team, the Black Stars.
He has since been tracked by DR Congo giants, TP Mazembe but has now received an invitation to train for two months at the Britania Stadium.
“Stoke City Football Club (English Premier League), would like to invite Solomon Wiafe Asante (Passport Number (withheld)) to attend a trial period of training with our football club at our training ground from November 15th 2012 until January 15th 2013 with a view to earning a playing contract,” a letter signed by Stoke’s Director of Football John Rudge said.
Asante made his full debut for Ghana in a friendly match against Liberia on September 11.
This was after he had come on as a second half substitute in 2-0 win over Malawi in the first leg of the 2013 Nations Cup qualifier in Accra.
The ex Fetteh Feyenoord player has been named in a 32-man shortlisted gunning for the African Player of the Year Award– Based in Africa.

I think you know what to do Asante, seize this opportunity!
never let dis opportunity slip away
Go get it boy,it comes ones in a lifetime..
and my man, you are better than any stoke city player.. u can run their midfield for them.. please go with God.. and show THEM!!! who the Solomon is!
He is too good for the stoke team. If he doesn’t earn a contract over there then it wouldn’t be for performance but for the type of game stoke play…..
if they are putting the ball on the turf then Solomon will surely excel. but we all know the type of game stoke play because of the physique and height of their players.
Bt the multi- million question is, Can he earn a place in the 23 man squad whiles on trials. i knw he wld surely make it to AFCON When he stays in de local leaque WHICH CAN MKT HIM WELL WITHOUT TRIALS. SOLO FINK WISELY
u are liar check the way stoke play then tell me the way asante play
so this means he cant join the squad for the AFCON on time……only IF he will make it into the selection
we are joking.we are only excited about just a trial at stock..this is an insult to Ghana football.a player worth our national team now for a trial at stock city?..we must be serious
Sikapa wut r u talkng about.do u think is easy to play in the premier league let alone have the chance to get a contract.u can say anything u want to say if our players can go and play in the Congo who r u to tell me they should not embrace a chance in London…
This is a waste of time. He does not. Qualify for a work permit.
he is not that GOOD OF A PLAYER. CHECK HIS STATS WITH BEREKUM CHELSEA DURING T HE CHAMPS LEAGUE. ONLY CLOTTEY WAS DOING THE SCORING. HOW MANY GOALS AND ASSISTS DID SOLOMON ASANTE GET FOR BEREKUM CHELSEA IN THEIR CHAMPIONS LEAGUE CAMPAIGN? IF I WERE AA, I WOULDNT EVEN INVITE HIM TO AFCON. HE SHOULD SEIZE THE OPPOTUNITY AT STOKE.. HE SHOULD LIFT METAL AND BE VERY CONFIDENT. THINK ATTACK, ATTTACK, ATTACK…
My only fear is his height!
solomon is not all that skoke needs cos he over does his running with the ball and that is not the stoke style besides he has played only 2 matches for ghana and does not qualify for work permit
