Charles Taylor: No Ghanaian club has what it takes to play in the FIFA Club World Cup

Published on: 10 February 2023

Former Black Stars midfielder, Charles Taylor has admonished Ghanaian players to step up and sign top players if they want to catch up with the best on the continent.

Speaking to Akoma FM, Taylor stressed that no Ghanaian player has what it takes to play in the FIFA Club World Cup at the moment.

“Our league lacks quality, some players are currently playing both Kotoko and Hearts but do not deserve it. But you can't blame them, some players are recruited from 2nd Divisions and walk straight into the starting eleven, and just after a season or two, these players leave the country.

“How can you win Africa with just players who play less than a season and are transferred out? It will take us about thirty years or over before we can win it,” Charles Taylor shared.

He explained his point by saying, “Just look at how Al Alhy is playing. When was the last time any of our clubs purchased a player outside Ghana who has a running contract? We always want free players whilst our competitors are busily recruiting top-notch players.

“If we don't stop these free-agent player things, we can't match them. God will not even allow us to win or draw against them. We don't sell your quality and still expect results.”

Meanwhile, Charles Taylor added that it is difficult for him to picture any Ghanaian club winning the CAF Champions League anytime soon.
