Nathaniel Asamoah admonishes young players not to waste their talents in Ghana

Published on: 16 October 2018

Former Medeama SC and Aduana Stars striker, Nathaniel Asamoah has urged young footballers not to waste their time in the country when foreign clubs offer them a deal.

According to the 25-year-old forward, Ghana is not the best place to develop your career as a footballer.

“My advice to Ghanaian players is that football is all about money," Asamoah told Silver FM in Kumasi.

"For the young players, if they get the opportunity to go to Europe at visionary and purposeful clubs they should go. They shouldn’t waste their time in Ghana.

“Because football is taught in Europe and when you go at a younger age, it is the best because there will be more time to learn the game well.

"In Ghana excuse me to say it, our football system is really bad” the striker stated.

Asamoah joined Armenian side FC Benants on a two-year deal after refusing to renew his contract the Dormaa-based club.

Countless young talents have left the country to join clubs abroad following the suspension of the Ghana Premier League.

Last week Accra Hearts of Oak’s Patrick Razak left for Guinean giants Horoya AC joining players like Inusah Musah, Isaac Mensah, Emmanuel Boateng, Fard Ibrahim and Leonard Tawiah as Ghana Premier League stars to leave in the summer.
