Former Asante Kotoko goalkeeper Isaac Amoako has advised Black Stars coach Chris Hughton to scout players beyond the Ghana Premier League.
The former Newcastle United gaffer was appointed to lead the Black Stars in a bid to recover the team from a poor World Cup showing.
Hughton did not name a local player in his first-ever Black Stars squad but assured Ghanaians his commitment to watching matches on the local scene to consider such players in future call-ups.
The 64-year-old has stuck to his words and has been present in various match centres in recent weeks to observe matches in the Ghana Premier League.
But Amoako in an interview with Footballghana.com entreated Hughton to monitor to extend his scouting by watching the Division One and other lower-tier leagues in the country.
“So far, he has done well. His commitment in watching the local league will help motivate the players but I will plead with him to watch the lower division leagues too”
“Hughton has got two assistant coaches, so it will be prudent for him to share task so they can monitor players in the Division One and other lower leagues as well” he said.
Ghana will return to action in June as they honour their fifth match of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
