Dutch international Memphis Depay, of Ghanaian descent, has revealed plans to arrange a friendly match between his club, Corinthians, and Asante Kotoko.
Depay, who is currently in Ghana for the Christmas holidays, is set to participate in various activities, including charity work. On Thursday morning, he visited Kotoko’s training grounds as the team prepared for their upcoming match against Bibiani GoldStars.

“I like what I see, and I urge you all to keep going. Never give up. I respect each one of you. I’m working on something to organize a friendly game between Kotoko and my team, Corinthians, in Brazil. It’s in the plans, so let’s hope we can make it happen and give you a chance to showcase your talent,” Depay said.
