The Eagles winger has had a wonderful season in Premier League but failed to make Ghana’s final squad to the World Cup
Agent of Crystal Palace midfielder Jeffrey Schlupp has hit out at Ghana Football Association president Kurt Okraku and head coach Otto Addo following his player’s inability to make the final squad for 2022 Fifa World Cup holding in Qatar.
Schlupp was initially named in a 55-provisional squad released last week by Ghana FA but he was unscrupulously left out when the final list of 26 players was sent to Fifa.
The decision has irked Schlupp’s agent Calvin Riches who believes there were a lot of underhand dealings which led to the snub of his player.
He has further warned the leadership of Ghana FA not to ever call his phone to discuss a possible future call up.

The Timbers boss has shed light on how he got his named omitted from the traveling contingent ahead of the upcoming Fifa World Cup
Black Galaxies and Samatex head coach Annor Walker has refuted claims that he was snubbed by Ghana FA after his name was surprisingly not part of the technical team that will represent the nation at 2022 Fifa World Cup to be staged in Qatar.
Four coaches including former Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak head coaches Prosper Ogum Narteh and Samuel Boadu respectively as well as Ibrahim Tanko and Ignatius Fosu have been selected to be in Qatar to enhance their knowledge.
The decision led to public backlash as many Ghanaians believe Annor Walker deserved one of the slots after leading the Black Galaxies to qualify to 2023 Championship of African Nations (CHAN) after Ghana missing out since 2014.
However, Walker has insisted that he will be extremely busy when the mundial starts that is why he would not join the Black Stars in Qatar.
“I was invited by GFA to be part of the four coaches going to World Cup but I declined the offer,” Walker told Oyerepa FM.
“This is because from November 20, when World Cup starts I will be busy in camp with Black Galaxies. We are preparing for the CHAN tournament scheduled to take place in January 2023 in Algeria.
“I will even travel outside Ghana within that period as well so we both agreed I can’t be part due to my national team engagement,” he added.

The Aboakese are preparing to enter another legal battle with the country’s football governing body following its decision not to sanction the sale of last season’s Premier League topscorer
Ashanti Gold are on the verge of entering another legal tussle with Ghana Football Association few weeks after successfully placing an injunction on 2022/23 Ghana Premier League season, AshesGyamera.com can report.
The Obuasi-based club’s top hierarchy, who are already challenging what they term as ‘unfair’ demotion from Ghana’s top flight to the third tier despite initially being found guilty of match-fixing, believe they are being sabotaged after the sale of former striker Yaw Annor to Egyptian club Ismaily was not sanctioned by the Football Association.
Annor, who won Ghana Premier League goal king last season after netting 22 goals, signed a reported five-year deal with Ismaily on July 5 under the supervision of AshantiGold bankroller Kwaku Frimpong.
However, after Ismaily officially wrote to Ghana FA for International Transfer Certificate (ITC) to register Annor for the new season, their request was turned down citing ‘other reason.’
Ghana FA interestingly gave a remark that Annor can only be registered as a FREE AGENT since “the club AshantiGold has been suspended by the GFA and therefore cannot transfer players.”

“The player can therefore be registered as a FREE PLAYER by your club,” the remark added.
How Ghana cancelled Yaw Annor’s ITC transfer request
This implies that Ashanti Gold do not have the right to sell the player to Ismaily and will not officially receive any transfer fee neither will they also have any percentage of a potential onward transfer should Annor leaves Ismaily one day.
Moreover, Ghana FA will not receive the mandated ten per cent from the initial total transfer fee to Ashanti Gold and that decision has gotten Dr. Kwaku Frimpong and his management infuriated and have threatened to test the law once again.
It will be recalled that Ashanti Gold were demoted to third tier (second division) on May 16 after they were found guilty of playing match of convenience against Inter Allies during 2020/21 Ghana Premier League season.
Ashanti Gold thrashed Inter Allies 7-0 with defender Hasmin Musa scoring two own goals in the process. After the game, Musa revealed that he scored the own goals to destroy a correct scoreline that was arranged ahead of kick off.
The club president Dr. Kwaku Frimpong was charged for breaching Article 27(1)(2) of the GFA Code of Ethics 2019; Article 18(1) of the GFA Disciplinary Code, 2019, and Article 34(5)(a)(b) of the GFA Premier League Regulations 2019 and later found guilty, fined $13,000 and banned from football and it related activities for ten years.
However, Ashanti Gold were allowed to complete the previous season since the entire decision was expected to take effect from the start of 2022/23 football season.
After only three matches into the new season, the Premier League was halted as Ashanti Gold filed an injunction at Accra’s Human Rights Court arguing that the Ghana FA’s decision to demote the club had infringed its rights as they were denied the proceedings used to rule against them.
The case has been adjourned to October 20 and the judge is expected to enter into the matter deeply as a hearing is expected to take place.
