Red Bull Salzburg midfielder Lawrence Agyekum has disclosed that playing in the Ghanaian top flight has strengthened him for the future.
The 19-year-old signed for the Austrian powerhouse in 2022 after a very successful first season in the Ghana Premier League with the West African Football Academy (WAFA).
Agyekum said there is no intensity in the Ghana Premier League when you compare it to the Austrian Bundesliga and the second tier league.
“There is so much intensity, it is very fast so if you are not mentally prepared, it will be very difficult to play," Lawrence Agyekum told Radio Gold.
“In WAFA I played all the games, almost all the games both home and away games.
“And you know how Ghana Premier League is, a lot of fighting especially in the away games.
“If you go to the away games the referees, the supporters are against you so it made me really strong.”
