NEWS TO GH PLAYERS : COME PLAY IN FRANCH LEAGUE, YOU WILL IMPROVE YOUR GAME IN GOOD CLUBS!!!!
I like him and am happy for him because he is humble and also not prideful as well as a cheerful giver…Go higher Inkoom.
wow gud news
Good move, now all you have to do is to lift up your game and the right back spot of the B/S will be yours. Don’t forget Opare is also fighting for the same position so you need to work a lot more harder, all the best anyway.
It was bad news right from the start whn he decided to move to Ukraine from basel. Good he has received his lessons.
