Former-France captain Marcel Desailly has charged Ghanaian clubs to retain top performing players in the Ghana Premier League.
The Ghanaian-born World Cup winner believes the country has a lot of good footballers, whose talents get wasted in their quest for greener pastures abroad.
Desailly, who has been linked to the Black Stars coaching job on a number of ocassions, is worried about poor structures which constantly forces players on a premature exit from the local topflight.
In an exclusive interview with footballghana.com, Desailly called on clubs to keep their players in order to bring their expertise on board.
"We have a lot of talent. We need to structure a little bit more our league to be able to keep them. Unfortunately, too many go away from the country just because of the big money the clubs are giving them and they are not able to play. It's a shame we lose a lot of them"
The top scorer of the first round of the 2015/2016 topflight, Yahaya Mohammed, is the latest to leave for Mexican second division side Murciélagos FC after scoring 11 goals in 14 matches.
The 2014/2015 season also saw then top scorer Nathaniel Asamoah of Medeama leave for Moroccan side Raja Casablanca. The striker was subsequentlyb restrcited to bench apperances for his new Arabian outfit.
