Fifa agent Arthur forecasts talent boom for Ghana

Published on: 08 November 2011

Fifa player agent Oliver Arthur has predicted that Ghana will have a talent boom for the 2014 Fifa World Cup finals in Brazil.

The man who has transferred more than twenty players to Europe-dominated by Italy deals-is impressed with the stock of youngsters abroad.

There are concerns over replacements for the current set of Black Stars ahead of a third consecutive World Cup appearance.

"If you look at what Richmond Boakye-Yiadom is doing, Afriyie Acquah, Massawudu Alhassan Kofi Agyei and Acosty from Fiorentina are doing then you can be assured of a good future," he told GHANAsoccernet.com.

"The Good thing is that they come here early so they learn the culture and football of the people so this helps to fortify them.

"I don't think we can ever see a talent shortage for Ghana," he added.

His outfit ArthurLegacy put together a package for Ghana's Under-20 team to play Italy and Parma in the Peninsula.

He also organized previous international friendly matches between Ghana's Under-20 and Bulgaria in 2009 and 2010.
