Andre Ayew declares himself fit for Swansea City debut against Burnley

The Ghanaian re-joined the Jack Army on January transfer deadline day after failing to make the mark at West Ham this season

Ghana midfielder Andre Ayew believes he has now recovered from a troublesome hamstring injury he sustained and ready to feature for Swansea City ahead of their Premier League game against Burnley on Saturday at the Liberty Stadium.

The 28-year-old who has been struggling with injuries recently opted to sign for the Welsh club once again after falling down the pecking order in David Moyes’ setup at West Ham.

“I have had a full week of training and feel ready but we will have to see – it will be up to the boss,” Ayew told his club’s website.

“I am excited to have this second opportunity with Swansea. I am 28 and still have a lot to give.

“The team have put together a great run in the last few weeks and I hope to help build on that with the games we have in the coming weeks.”

Swansea City are without a defeat in their previous four games played in all competitions but are struggling to beat the drop in the Premier League and Ayew insists they will achieve their target.

“You are always under pressure in life, but we have a great club with great fans,” he said.

“There are a lot of people behind our team. I am confident, but we must not be afraid to take challenges.

“We want to stay in the Premier League and as a team, we are going to do everything to make sure we achieve that,” he added.

Ayew will have the opportunity to play with his younger brother Jordan, for the first time at club side in almost five seasons, if he is selected by coach Carlos Carvalhal.

Ntow Fianko dares Ghana FA; advises Division One Clubs to kick against ¢10,000 officiating fees

 

Former chairman of Ghana’s Division One League board, Ntow Fianko Esq, has launched a scathing attack on Ghana Football Association insisting that they have been extorting lower tier clubs in recent times.

According to the Chiraa native, the ¢10,000 to be paid by each second-tier club as an officiating fee ahead of the new season, is outrageous since the clubs are even struggling to raise funds to run their daily activities.

“We are tired of the robbery. I entreat all the clubs in the Division One League to come together and boycott the league or kick against the ¢10,000 as officiating fee,” Fianko told Space FM.

“The FA cannot do anything against them. If the FA is serious, why would they pay an ex gratia of $1,700 to people who walk about aimlessly at the FA without doing any work and the turn to rob these poor clubs to pay money for officiating?” he quizzed.

” My club [Berekum Arsenal] don’t have tthat money to pay and I know Bofoakwa are also not ready to pay. That is what others must do. We’ll support any club who stands up to fight against this decision

“The FA went for StarTimes deal which included officiating fee but clubs never benefited and are still told to pay additional fees,” he added.

The second-tier league was expected to kickoff in the coming weeks but all activities have been halted following an injunction placed on Congress by Great Olympics last week.

Court punishes ‘irresponsible’ father in Kumasi

The Kumasi District Court Two, presided over by Madam Christiana Eyiah-Donkor, has punished a 38-year father for child non-maintenance.

Yaw Korang, a driver, has refused to provide for the upkeep of his three children and for this, he is to serve three months in prison in hard labor. He was additionally sentenced to a fine of GH¢480.00 or in default, have his jail term extended by another three months.

The court also ordered him to pay cash of GH¢3,000.00 to his ex-wife, Madam Cynthia Kwarteng Amanin for the period he failed to pay for the maintenance of the children.

Police Chief Inspector Joseph Bilson told the court that the convict and the former spouse have three children aged between six and 10 years.

Korang has failed to live up to his responsibility to the children and this was reported to the Police Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit (DOVVSU).

The prosecution said he was invited by the unit and it was agreed that he made a monthly remittance of GH¢300.00 to take care of them but ignored doing that.

Madam Eyiah-Donkor, before handing down the punishment to him, expressed concern about the growing child neglect in the Ashanti Region and said the sentence would serve as deterrent.

Aseidu Attobrah joins Al Shorta in Iraq

The youngster has completed his switch to the Iraqi side until the end of the season

Former New Edubiase United midfielder Abraham Aseidu Attobrah has joined Iraqi Premier League side Al Shorta in a six-month deal.

The 22-year-old was close to joining Ghana Premier League giants Hearts of Oak and even trained with them during the early stages of the club’s pre-season. However, the negotiations fell through amid rumours that he had agreed a three-year deal.

Attobrah has become the second Ghanaian to sign for an Iraqi side this month after former Sekondi Hasaacas striker Samuel Afful also signed for Al Talaba last week in a five-month deal.

AshesGyamera understands that Hearts of Oak target Zuma is also in Iraq negotiating a deal.

Asamoah Gyan scores for Keyserispor despite elimination

The striker came off the bench to score for his side but that wasn’t enough to see them through

Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan was on target when Keyserispor shared the spoils 2-2 against Akhisarspor in the Turkish League Club on Wednesday.

The stalemate, however, wasn’t enough to qualify them to the next round of the competition 3-2 on aggregate following a 1-0 defeat in the first leg.

The 32-year-old was a second half substitute after he came on to replace Gonzalo Espinoza by the 63rd minute.

Soner Aydogdu got the opener for the visitors before on 25th minute before Artem Kravets levelled the scoreline eleven minutes later for Keyserispor.

However, Eray Ataseven scored again for Akhisarspor to make it 2-1 until Asamoah Gyan fetched the equaliser from the spot very late in additional time but, it was too little too late to turn the game on its head.

Gyan joined Keyserispor from Chinese side Shanghai SIPG after a loan spell at Al Ahli Dubai.

Kotoko probable XI to face CARA Brazzaville on Sunday

 

Following series of training and low profile matches, Asante Kotoko head coach Steve Polack has made up his mind to field two strikers against CARA Brazzaville in the preliminary round of the Caf Confederations Cup on Sunday at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium, AshesGyamera understands.

The Porcupine Warriors are in a dire need of good results in the first leg and Steve Polack, according to our monitoring has decided to start former Atletico Madrid striker Sadick Adams alongside Obed Owusu, as a sweeper, since Frederick Boateng was not registered for the competition, while goalkeeper Felix Annan man the post ahead of Michael Abu and 15-year-old Danlad Ibrahim.

In defence, former Aduana Stars centre-back Wahab Adams is likely to partner Awudu Nafui, while Augustine Sefa and Amos Frimpong get the nods on the laterals.

Owusu Jackson is likely to start ahead of Seth Opare with Kwame Boahene, Emmanuel Gyamfi and evergreen Jordan Opoku complementing the attacking opinions of the midfield as Kotoko need fluidity in midfield in order to create more chances and score more goals ahead of the return leg on February 21.

Probable XI:
Felix Annan- , Augustine Sefa, Awudu Nafiu, Wahab Adams, Amos Frimpong- Jackson Owusu, Emmanuel Gyamfi, Jordan Opoku, Kwame Boahene- Sadick Adams, Obed Owusu

Ghana FA postpones annual congress indefinitely after court injunction

 

Ghana Football Association has officially cancelled the 2018 Congress ahead of the commencement of the new Ghana Premier League season.

The decision came as a result of an injunction placedon all activities relating to the Premier League by Great Olympics   on Monday, after they insisted that they have been unfairly treated by the association’s judicial body.

The Wonder Club saw their protests against Elmina Sharks and Bechem United thrown out and have thus resorted to the law court.

“The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has indefinitely postponed the 24th Ordinary session of Congress which was scheduled to be held at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence (GSCE) in Prampram on Thursday February 8, 2018,” a statement read.

“This postponement is as a result of a legal action brought against the Association by Accra Great Olympics Football Club Limited.

The statement added: “The GFA has also indefinitely postponed its much publicized GFA Seminar for the Premier, Division One, Women League clubs, Match Officials and the Media scheduled for Wednesday February 7 at the GSCE in Prampram.

“The GFA sincerely apologizes for any inconvenience caused by this postponement.”
