The Ghanaian defender is set to seal a loan deal with the French top-flight outfit in this ongoing winter transfer window
One of Ghana's best players at their disastrous 2023 AFCON campaign undoubtedly, is Majeed Ashimeru, who has this morning released a statement to thank the teeming fans of Ghana throughout their stay in Cote D'Ivoire.
Former Black Stars midfielder, Emmanuel Agyemang Badu isn't happy with the team's performance in the last game against Mozambique and stated they played with no motivation.
Ghana needed a win to qualify but sadly gave away a two goal and conceded two at the death of the game to play out a 2-2 stalemate with Mozambique in their final group game.
The draw means the four-time champions ended the campaign with just points from a defeat and two draws and finished third in Group B.
This is the second consecutive time Ghana are suffering a group stage eviction at the AFCON after what happened in 2021 in Cameroon.
Agyemang Badu, who was very optimistic Ghana will prevail in Cote D'Ivoire prior to the tournament, feels lack of character, confidence and communication is the reason of the team's early elimination.
He added that, the players didn't show any commitment and played as if there was nothing at stake.
"The team lacked concentration, communication, character and confidence. Normally, when you have confidence, character and you are able to concentrate and communicate well, it helps as a team”
“A good communication can help save a point. Anyone who watched Mauritania’s game against Algeria can detect that the character of the Mauritanians was what Ghana were lacking, because you could see they are fighting, running and doing everything to get the points. The team lacked confidence because after taking the lead against Mozambique things turn upside down, you could there was nothing at stake for the players” he ended
The Black Stars players will return to their respective clubs and will regroup again to take Mali on June 5, in their third game of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Black Stars defender, Mohammed Salisu has rendered a sincere apology to the people of Ghana following their embarrassing display at the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Cote D'Ivoire.
In a thrilling revelation that has sent waves of excitement through the football community, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has officially announced the Best 11 players from the group stage of AFCON 2023.
