Thirty Ghanaian players to join European clubs January

Published on: 25 November 2010

Thirty Ghanaian players will join European clubs in January if the Ghana Football Association (GFA) approves their International Transfer Certificates (ITC).

Twenty two players will join clubs in various divisions in Italy if their quests for free transfers are substantiated.

Four players have also applied to join clubs Germany on a free transfer while a similar number are seeking moves to Belgium.

It will be the largest number of Ghanaian players moving to join European clubs at a go if all the moves are approved.

The players seem to have been successful in trails as free agents but the Italian, Germany and Belgian football federations as well as Fifa want to confirm their status with their former clubs in Ghana if any.

The GFA wants clubs who have claims against any of the 30 players to contest the issue before the 10 December.

If approved it will drastically boost the number of Ghanaian players in Europe and widen the net of players seeking places in the various Ghana national teams.

The number will add to a few who will join those who are expected to move directly from Ghanaian clubs to European teams.

While it will delight those seeking more Ghanaian players in the Europeans league, adherents of the local league would say it will further deplete the weak Ghana Premier League.
