ââ¬ÅI am a footballer and I will want to play for Ghana again when the opportunity comes,â⬠Bortey was quoted byà Allsports.com.gh.
ââ¬ÅI have targeted Brazil and if the chance and my country call me I will grab that chance with my all, because I played with most of the guys who are with the team now.ââ¬
ââ¬ÅI am not finished yet. I was in Ghana playing for Aduana Stars, but due to some problems I decided to move on. Fortunately, I got a club Panthers FC in Equatorial Guinea Iââ¬â¢m their darling boy and itââ¬â¢s not by any chance, is because am playing week and week out and am doing well.ââ¬
ââ¬ÅI have played almost every week since I moved from Ghana and my performance has caught the eyes of many of the clubs who are even chasing me for my services.ââ¬
