According to Godwin Attram, the exodus of players won’t end since players want to make a solid living so they can support their families.
The issue of player departure in Ghana has been extensively explored, and some remedies have been offered to the national football authority.
The former Accra Great Olympics player claims that he constantly advises players who are leaving Ghana to play abroad to put some effort into their chosen careers and avoid making foolish jokes that could get them into trouble.
“It will not stop because a player at the end of your career you need money. And wherever there is money you will like to chase that to get some the football you are playing you know the time your strength is reducing,” he told Ernest Brew Smith on Youtube.
“Zambia and Ethiopia now they push money into football it is not a problem for a player to go to those places you are just playing football. Football has changed structures and facilities are in very country now if you want to go there and play it is not a problem,”
“Me I don’t blame any player for going to play in those areas, they want to play football to make their career they also have families and so many things to do. The only thing I tell them is when you go make up your mind that you are going to play football very well over there not going to joke around then get sacked.”
The Ghana Premier League has seen the exit of some of its finest players midway through seasons in recent times.
