The number of gifted Ghanaian players born abroad grows by the day as the latest kid sensation Michael Gyasi has been signed the English giants Chelsea.
Chelsea swooped for 11-year-old Northampton Town striker Michael Gyasi for an undisclosed fee.
The lucrative deal for the youngster who is even yet to complete his primary education shows how talented the striker is.
Gyasi’s switch includes a variety of add-ons, which are subject to particular targets being met.
Cobblers centre of excellence boss Trevor Gould said: "Michael has progressed well and has improved with our coaching.
"Financially the deal is good for us, and the money we will receive will aid our youth development.â€
Gyasi had been part of the Northampton centre of excellence for the last three years.
"While we obviously want to produce and keep our best players, when a Premier League club like Chelsea come knocking, as long as the deal is right for the club, we will never stand in a boy's way," added Gould.
"Not only is this is a superb opportunity for Michael but it reinforces the quality of player we are bringing both into the club and through our centre of excellence."
The youngster will receive massive support for Michael Essien who has taken all the Ghanaian players at the club under his wing including Seth Twumasi who went on to play for the English juniors.
