Ghana Sports Minister Kofi Adams praised Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku during the player's recent visit to the West African nation. Adams described the Belgian international's career path as both motivating and concerning for Ghana's football development. The minister highlighted how many talented players with Ghanaian heritage achieve global success without proper attention from national football authorities. Adams stressed the need for Ghana to identify and support diaspora players during their early development rather than pursuing them after they become established stars.
Doku expressed appreciation for his warm reception and pledged to support Ghana through various charitable and athletic programs. The winger emphasized his strong connection to Ghana and pride in his heritage. Adams advocated for creating structured scouting networks to engage players of Ghanaian descent across Europe and North America. The minister believes Ghana must build lasting relationships with developing talent rather than reactive approaches. This strategy would help the country maximize its global football potential.
