Aduana Stars FC striker, Yahaya Mohammed, has offered a piece of advice to football supporters to be patience with the aged returnee players to help revamp excitement in the Ghana Premier League.
Most of the old returnee footballers are booed by their own fans when they fail to meet expectations of supporters back home.
However, Yahaya who is a returnee from the French Ligue 1 has leapt to the defence of the old returnee footballers, saying the local Fans should put a stop to the jeer and help develop the Ghana top-flight.
“It’ll help the Ghana league in diverse ways. Why can’t Gyan play in the local league if players like Kaka and Ronaldinho went home to play in the Brazilian league? Their presence will help in the acquisition of sponsorships.” He told Kumasi-based Hello FM.
“I can tell you that the day Asamoah Gyan will sign for a local club, the following week, we’ll get a huge sponsorship for the league.
“Look at where Gyan has reached in his football career but you will see someone insulting him. It’s time the supporters comport themselves.
“The insult should be in a professional way. We should educate the fans in order to have most of the old players in our league.
“It will make the league exciting and easy to get sponsorship as well. At the long round, everyone including the fans will benefit.
Yahaya Mohamed played for OGC Nice on loan in the 2007/8 football season before returning home to play for Tema Youth, Asante Kotoko, RTU and now with the Ogya boys in Dormaa.
