players who are making it quite big and great talented
in Ghana. Most of these youngsters have a bright
future for any foreign clubs and are dreaming to
hoping and looking forward to play for any club in
Europe.
The players are for instance capable of manning the
post for any of the following:

The idols of these young talented players are:
Ghanaian players; Michael Essien who play for Chelsea
-England, Skipper Stephen Appiah played in Turkey,
Goalkeeper Richard Kingston, John Paintsil John
Mensah, Sulley Monatri and other Inteernational
Ghanaian players who featured in this ongoing World

Further steps can be taking as soon as we receive a
response from you. We also wish to request you to help
us find clubs in Denmark for our players.
We are looking forward to your attention and action in
this matter and remain please.
