Published on: 18 April 2023

Henry Asante Twum has revealed that Black Stars coach, Chris Hughton has been expressing his thoughts to the Ghana Football Association about the local game in the country.

Hughton has attended some matches after playing his first two games with the Black Stars against Angola in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations [AFCON] qualifiers.

The 64-year-old who signed a 21-month as the head coach of the senior national pledged that he will monitor the topflight as he aims to build a solid team.

According to Asante Twum, it is among Chris Hughton's duties to offer his insights on other facets of the game as well as other national teams.

"He's watched a number of games. The first thing is that he is impressed with the quality and the standard. Even though he has a few concerns he has shared them with the technical directorate of the FA and automatically will be passed on to the executive council and the leadership for them to look into it," he told TV3.

Chris Hughton watched Great Olympics and Berekum Chelsea at the Accra Sports Stadium before heading to Kumasi to watch the Black Meteors qualification against Algeria before watching Kotoko and King Faisal at the same venue.

He has also been to Dawu and the Aliu Mahama Stadium to watch the FA Cup games.

The Black Stars are now a win away from qualifying as they lead Group E with eight points with the Central African Republic following with seven points.

Ghana will return to action in June for the next round of matches in the qualifiers.
