Former Houston Dynamo forward Dominic Oduro has advised Ghanaian players to take every step to play in the most "improved" league in the world, the Major League Soccer (MLS).
Joseph Painstil recently joined his other compatriots in the MLS, signing for Los Angeles Galaxy from Belgium side KRC Genk, leaving fans to question this move at the peak of his career.
However, Oduro feels the MLS presents a good opportunity for Ghanaian players home and abroad to showcase their talents and secure a bumper deal to Europe.
"It is positive. I hope more Ghanaian players will come to the league. It is not washed as people think, It's actually improving and it is getting better," he told 3 Sports.
"Give it a shot? Why not? The league is good. You don't always have to play in Europe. You can progress from playing in the MLS to going to Europe. It has been done and if you are good they will see you. Give it a shot and use it as a platform to boost your career," he added.
Oduro who is currently the assistant coach of the Charlotte FC Academy side spent over a decade in the MLS, scoring 63 goals in 345 games.
He has one appearance (in 2012) for Ghana under his sleeves before retiring from the game in 2019.
