“it is only in Ghana you hear people telling players to stay away from social media and this is not done anywhere but rather at special times”

The striker also bemoaned that most players can’t talk on camera because of the negative perception of the media

“Most Ghanaian players can’t talk in front of camera, they don’t have appetite to, their voices are useless. How can you grow as a player in this system we find ourselves” He added.

The striker is reported to have joined Jordanian side Al Faisaly on a two-year deal
