Nordsjaelland refused to release trio; Mohammed Kudus, Ibrahim Sadiq and Gideon Mensah to the Ghana U20 team after their demand to impose players to the side was denied.

Investigations by FootballMadeInGhana.com have revealed that the Danish club demanded two more players be called into the Black Satellites as a condition for releasing the influential trio ahead of Saturday’s U20 Africa Cup qualifier against Benin.

But coach Jimmy Cobblah stood his grounds to say no to the obnoxious demand of the Danish club.

“The boys we expected from Nordsjaelland did not arrive and I think it was because the coach [Jimmy Cobblah] did not agree to their demand to add two more players,” a highly placed source told FootballMadeInGhana.com.

“These players are key players to the team and because the coach refused them, there were several excuses being given all of the sudden and now the coach must plan without them.”

Nordsjaelland have strong ties to Ghana as the founder of Right to Dreams Academy, Tom Vernon was part of a group of investors that bought the club back in 2015.

It is often used as the mother club of the Right to Dream Academy with its graduates being handed professional contracts at Nordsjaelland.

Right to Dream have been accused in recent times of using their strong connections within the camps of the various national teams to lure players into signing long-term contracts with them.

Reports were rife that they use the threat of withdrawing players from the national team as a way to pressurize players into committing to them contractually.

Right to Dream had a minimum of five players in the starting lineup of the Ghana U17 team that played at the 2017 Africa and World Cup tournaments in Gabon and India respectively.
