Jamie Leweling rejects Black Stars call up; chance for Emmanuel Gyasi and Brain Brobbey to seize

The youngster is reported to have said he is unwilling to play for the West African country since he is unsure of his future as he continues to eye a chance with Germany

German-born striker of Ghanaian descent Jamie Leweling has turned down the opportunity to represent Ghana on the international level despite being offered a golden opportunity.

The 19-year-old, who currently plies his trade with German Bundesliga 2 side Greuther Furth, was a surprise inclusion in Ghana’s 23-man squad named by head coach C.K Akonnor ahead of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Sudan.

Although, Ghana FA president Kurt Okraku defended the decision and revealed that it was the new technical director who recommended his inclusion, the youngster is not ready to play for Ghana despite it being the country of his biological father.

“The boy (Jamie Leweling) can’t honour the call up because it will be very complicated if he wants to switch back to represent Germany in any category of the national team if things don’t go well for him with Ghana,” a source told GHANAsoccernet.com

“Jamie won’t come to Ghana because after further explanation of issues surrounding his call-up, he has decided not to play for Ghana now due to several complications which are both sporting and personal,” the source added.

The decision means that Akonnor would have to call another player to fill the void and the star could fall on Spezia Calcio forward Emmanuel Gyasi who has played every single game this season in the Serie A.

Also, Ajax Amsterdam young striker Brain Brobbey as well as Elton Acolatse could be handed the opportunity since the former recently declared his readiness to play for Ghana.

The Black Stars will face Sudan in the first leg of the qualifiers on November 12 the Cape Coast Sports Stadium before they travel to Khartoum for the return fixture five days later.

Kwame Poku scores brace as Kotoko ‘humiliate’ Achiken FC in pre-seaon friendly

The Porcupines brushed aside the lower-tier side as they wrap up their fine tuning ahead of the start of the 2020/21 league season

Asante Kotoko defeated Achiken FC 6-1 in a pre-season friendly at the Adako Jachie on Thursday.

Two first-half goals from Emmanuel Gyamfi and new recruit Evans Adomako made sure that Maxwell Konadu’s charges marched on to record their third win in pre-season.

Konadu paraded a strong starting line up with a 4-3-3 formation which had Black Stars goalkeeper Razak Abalora in post ahead of Felix Annan. Samuel Frimpong, Imoro Ibrahim, Abdul Ganiu Ishmael and Mubarik Yusif made up the defence while Emmanuel Keyekeh and Latif Anabila as well as Kwame Adom Frimpong formed the midfield.

In attack, Evans Adomako led the pack with support from Kwame Poku and Emmanuel Gyamfi on the left and right flanks respectively.

Gyamfi opened the scoring by 15th minute after a fast break before Adomako scored his first ever goal for Kotoko after joining from Phar Rangers.

After the break, Emmanuel Sarkodie replaced Kwame Adom while William Opoku Mensah took the place of Adomako.

Ibrahim capitalised on a mistake from Achiken defence after they committed a foul outside their goal area. The defender sent in his free-kick for the third goal of the day by 52nd minute.

By the 55th minute, Wahab Adams and Habib Mohammed came on to replace Yusif and Ganiu as the new centre backs while Godfred Asiamah took the place of Keyekeh.

Agyemang Duah pulled one back for Achiken as they improved their performance to at least draw even. However, substitute Opoku Mensah combined with a teammate to score Kotoko’s fourth goal of the day few moments after coming on to restore their three-goal lead.

Kwame Poku scored two quick goals to extended Kotoko’s lead. The striker first netted from the spot after an Achiken defender brought down a Kotoko player before connecting a pass from his teammate to calmly send his effort on target.

ASANTE KOTOKO XI vs. ACHIKEN FC:

Razak Abalora- Samuel Frimpong,
Imoro Ibrahim, Abdul Ganiu Ishmael, Mubarik Yusif – Emmanuel Keyekeh, Latif Anabila
Kwame Adom Frimpong – Emmanuel Gyamfi, Kwame Poku, Evans Adomako

” We have written a demand letter to Nana Yaw Amponsah and further copied Mr Kofi Badu (Chief of Staff Manhyia Palace), Prof Dr Kwame Kyei Baffour (Board Chairman of Kumasi Asante Kotoko SC), Mr Emmanuel Dasoberi (Administrative Manager Asante kotoko SC), and Mr Moses Armah Parker (Owner of Medeama SC),” he added.

Nana Yaw Amponsah replaced George Amoako as the CEO of Kotoko after losing the Ghana FA presidential elections and has had a promising with the club. He has helped brokered a lot of sponsorship and partnership deals including kit sponsorship from Errea, Instat, VEO, Adonko Energy Drink among others.

Top Asante Kotoko midfielder ruled out for two months due to injury relay

The Porcupine Warriors will once again miss the services of their midfielder after picking up an injury ahead of the start of the season

Asante Kotoko midfielder Mudasiru Salifu will likely be out of the club’s first five games of the 2020/21 Ghana Premier League season after picking up a metatarsal bone injury during the club’s pre-season tour in Koforidua.

 
Mudasiru, 23, was highly tipped by a lot of pundits and commentators to be the engine room of Kotoko’s midfield after series of inspiring performances in the truncated season.

 
However, coach Maxwell Konadu will have to look elsewhere as the player is likely to go under knife in the coming days to correct the problem suffered.

With Brazilian midfielder Fabio Gama da Silva and Kwame Adom Frimpong as well as Latif Anabila, Muniru Sulley, Emmanuel Keyekeh and Emmanuel Sarkodie available, Konadu can alter his plans and formation with any of them.

Kuami Eugene unhappy after Sarkodie ‘deceived’ him to endorse NPP in Happy Day song

The fast-rising artist has expressed his dissatisfaction after realising that the rapper has deceived him to endorse the ruling political party

Ghana’s reigning Artist of the Year Kuami Eugene has admitted that he is disappointed after a song he featured on has been tagged as a campaign song for National Patriotic Party (NPP) ahead of the 2020 general elections.

In a song by award-winning rapper Sarkodie titled Happy Day, Kuami Eugene sang the chorus. However, little did Eugue know that Sarkodie was going to endorse NPP as he said in the song that “if he can sleep comfortably in his room devoid of constant power shortage and has his children attending schools freely, then Nana Akufo-Addo should continue as the president until 2024.”

“Sarkodie deceived me to be on a song which he was actually going to look like it was to endorse Nana Akufo-Addo,” Eugene said in an interview with Stacy.

“Actually, we did this song to thank God and not to endorse NPP. I feel a little betrayed because this wasn’t what we agreed on. However, I will not sue a senior colleague.

“If indeed he has taken 500k cedis to give this song to NPP then I will not sue him for the deceit but go to his house for my money

“Sarkodie has insisted after my management contacted him that this song was not an endorsement to take money but he wanted to voice out what he felt?” he added.

Eugene was voted as the Artist of The Year at the 2020 Ghana Music Awards held a couple of months ago.
