Ghanaian football agent Papa Agyeman has revealed the changes made in timing of the African Cup of nations will increase interest in African Players.
According to the agent, many clubs decline signing players from the continent because of the timing of the Africa Cup of Nations which is usually played in January/February, most often the crucial period of European League.
The Confederation of African Football, however, met and settled on resolution where AFCON will be played in June/ July starting from the next edition in Cameroon.
"It'll make my job easier as an agent. Clubs use it as an excuse not to sign African players," he told BBC World Service.
"They will become more attractive because teams won't be thinking about losing them every two years.
"African players are becoming more and more influential and that stage of the season is crucial."
He adds: "The better players are generally gone for longer and if they can't replace those players, it has been difficult for clubs.
"I'm not sure moving the tournament means their transfer values will go up or down but they won't be missed for vital periods. Their value to the team will be greater.
"Players are going away in the middle of the season and some of them are tired. The Africa Cup of Nations is a tough, tough tournament. I think players will welcome this.
"Copa America is held during the summer months. You have to move with the times."
At the last edition several of Cameroon players declined playing at the Africa Cup of Nations because of Club commitment.
Meanwhile, the new changes thus means AFCON will be played when the European leagues are over.
