The Black Stars’ surge to the quarter-finals of the 2010 FIFA world is expected to lead to a large number of the squad playing in England next season; sports analysts say.
The most likely players to eye the premiership, analysts say, are Anthony Annan, Stephen Appiah, Andre Ayew, Asamoah Gyan, Isaac Vorsah and Prince Tagoe.
Marseille wing Andre Ayew said: “We all love watching the Premiership. The game has so much speed and the fighting spirit appeals to everyone in Africa. It’s the best league in the world. They have teams who appeal to different styles. Some play direct and physically while others play slick football on the ground. I watch and try to incorporate things I see there into my game. Personally I use players like Samir Nasri, Frank Lampard, Cesc Fabregas and Michael Carrick to enhance my game”.
