King Faisal Babies midfielder Daniel Nii Adjei has scored the media low marks in relation to promoting of the Ghana Premier League.

The ex-Kotoko captain is worried foreign leagues and players command a lot of inches in the press and dominate air time in the Ghanaian media space.

He believes this trend makes home-based players unappreciated and their qualities overlooked.

After spending five seasons at TP Mazembe, the 31-year-old feels the Congolese media do more in promoting their domestic league in comparison to Ghana.

''There's a vast difference between football in DR Congo and Ghana, they appreciate their own whereas we don't appreciate ours,'' he told Bogoso-based Best FM.

''The media in DR Congo also makes sure it promotes the league and the players.

''I usually don't listen to radio in DR Congo but, any time I listen to radio, it’s more of their local league rather than promoting the foreign leagues.''

Adjei also warned against comparing the Ghana Premier League to foreign leagues.

''We often compare how players play in Europe to Ghana and I think it's not proper,'' he said.

''Our Ghanaian media gives more attention to the foreign game to the expense of our own game.

''How many fans know the local players and their clubs ? But, most fans can mention many players with their current clubs in Europe.''
