When Sampson started his job, he saw Fuseini’s promise but was told she had a physical problem that was preventing her from reaching her full potential.

Her surgery was postponed due to financial difficulties, I was informed. I contacted the President of the GFA, who promised that the Medical Fund will take care of it,” he said.

The midfield player has been cleared to return to full training after missing the team’s most recent camp due to rehabilitation. “It’s refreshing to see her again,” said Sampson, who was happy to see her return. The GFA deserves praise for its dedication to player welfare.

As part of initiatives to enhance player health and safety, the GFA Medical Fund has provided support to a number of national players, including Barikisu Abdul-Rahman, Uwaisa Mawia, Linda Minta, and Sandra Atinga.

After the Real Madrid development, Trent Alexander-Arnold “remembers nothing” about the Liverpool game.

Trent Alexander-Arnold "remembers nothing" about the Liverpool game.

Real Madrid has long been vying for the services of Liverpool vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold, who announced that he will leave the team in the summer.

When Liverpool played Manchester United at Anfield in January, Trent Alexander-Arnold undoubtedly appeared preoccupied. And it was clear what was causing the Reds’ number 66 to put on such an odd show.

What was already known was that Liverpool had no intention of accepting Real Madrid’s offer for his services in the run-up to the game. In the summer, Carlo Ancelotti’s team wanted Alexander-Arnold on a free transfer, which it has finally completed, but they were prepared to pay a comparatively minor amount to advance that goal by six months.

When the Spanish giant’s bid was flatly refused, it received the message and withdrew. Even though Alexander-Arnold’s performance against Manchester United didn’t cost him anything, he will ultimately still end up at the Bernabeu.

However, it might have cost Liverpool more in the midst of the significant choice on his future. The Premier League title was won by the Reds at a relative canter despite dropping points against a rival.

“I think first and foremost, I want to say it’s not an easy decision and there’s a lot of thought and feeling that has gone into it,” Alexander-Arnold said this week on the Reds’ official website when discussing his decision to quit the team he grew up with.

Harry Kane wins the Bundesliga's first major championship.

Following Bayern Munich’s 33rd Bundesliga title, Harry Kane—no longer the nearly man—finally took home his first major team championship.

Harry Kane has been plagued by the absence of silverware for years. The Englishman has lost three finals with Tottenham Hotspur, including two in the EFL Cup and one in the UEFA Champions League, and twice with England in the UEFA European Championships (2021 and 2024).

Even with the defending champion Bayern last season, Kane finished without a title as the Rekordmeister lost the Supercup to Leipzig in his debut match, lost the Champions League and DFB Cup, and finished third in the Bundesliga.

With 24 goals this season, England’s record scorer Kane is the division’s leading scorer, demonstrating his crucial contribution to the Bayern cause.

With a second consecutive Bundesliga top scorer’s award now within reach, Kane is poised for even more recognition. In addition to leading Bayern’s bid to win the first FIFA Club World Cup in the USA in June, the Englishman scored 36 goals in the Bundesliga last season.

With Bulgarian powerhouse FC Ludogorets Razgrad, Ghanaian attacker Bernard Tekpetey has won another league championship.

After his team defeated Cherno More in the Championships playoffs, the 27-year-old Bernard Tekpetey, who has missed the majority of the season due to an anterior cruciate ligament damage, saw his team crowned winners.

In his five seasons with the team, Tekpetey has won his tenth trophy and experienced league success each time.

Olivier Verdon started the score just before halftime in the championship match against Cherno, and Swiss-Ghanaian Kwadwo Duah then clinched the win for the Green Eagles.

The former Schalke O4 star is expected to join his teammates on Saturday at the Ludogorets Arena before their match against Levski to celebrate their latest triumph.

Meanwhile, this season, the pacy winger has made seven appearances across all competitions, scoring two goals for the club.

Tekpetey is still on his way to full fitness and will be expected to play a key role at the Bulgarian club next season.

Thomas Partey’s Arsenal future in balance as contract talks remain complicated

The future of Thomas Partey at Arsenal is uncertain as contract negotiations continue to be difficult.

Although Arsenal is interested in extending Thomas Partey’s contract, the Ghanaian midfielder’s future at the club is still up in the air, with talks being characterized as “complicated” and far from conclusive.

In an interview with Sports Mole, Charles Watts disclosed that talks are still preliminary. Watts stated, “They’re not really at formal talks yet.” “They’re considering their options, but this isn’t a simple transaction.”

Partey, who is in the last year of his contract, is rumored to be looking for a better deal, but because of his age and injury history, Arsenal is hesitant to increase his base pay.

While Partey has enjoyed arguably his best season in an Arsenal shirt, featuring in 47 matches with four goals and three assists, concerns remain over whether the club should commit to another high-paying long-term contract for a player turning 32.

Joel Agyekum: Ghanaian defender born in Germany signs Hamburger SV's first professional deal

Joel Agyekum, a Ghanaian native born in Hamburg, has signed his first professional contract with Hamburger SV, completing his journey from academy prospect to first-team professional.

After joining HSV from Eimsbutteler TV in 2017, Agyekum spent almost eight years in the club’s youth ranks before rising to the first squad and establishing himself as a reliable and formidable defensive player.

In a 2-1 away win over Preussen Munster in February 2025, Agyekum made his first appearance in the first team, making him the 520th HSV player overall since the Bundesliga’s inception.

Consistency, perseverance, and exceptional performances for the U17, U19, and U21 teams have been the foundation of his ascent. He has played in 26 of the U21s’ 31 games this season.

“Joel is further proof that we’re on the right path,” said Stefan Kuntz, HSV’s board member for sport.

“He hasn’t just been gifted this opportunity. He’s worked for it and earned it himself through ambition, application, and talent.”

Claus Costa, head of professional football, stated, “Joel is a modern centre-half with exciting potential. His physicality, pace, and attitude are exactly what we are seeking.”

The 20-year-old, who has also represented Germany at junior level, spoke emotionally about his milestone:

“As a born and bred Hamburger, I am very proud and extremely joyful to have sealed my first pro contract with my club. I am very at home at HSV, and I can sense just how much the club values me.”

As a Ghanaian born in Germany, his development is also watched closely by fans of both nations, as his international future is an intriguing prospect.

Ray Parlour says Partey's return might lead to Arsenal's Paris comeback.

According to former Arsenal player Ray Parlour, Arsenal’s chances of overcoming their 1-0 deficit against Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final may depend on Thomas Partey’s comeback.

Ousmane Dembélé gave Arsenal the early lead at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night, and the Ligue 1 winners took control of the game from the start.

Due to Partey’s ban, he was unable to play, and Arsenal suffered as they were unable to control the pace and establish themselves in midfield.

Partey’s return could help the Gunners regain control in the middle of the pitch, Parlour emphasized in an interview with Tribalfootball.com.

“Arsenal got into the game after around 20 minutes in the first leg and with Partey back, it’s so important Arsenal win the midfield duels and get on the ball.

“Scoring first in Paris is vital for Arsenal and in (Bukayo) Saka and (Gabriel) Martinelli, they have the tool to do this. Merino as number 9 will also help and he can cause PSG problems.”

He added that Arsenal must avoid conceding early in the return leg.

“It’s not over, but it’s key that Arsenal don’t concede early and can grow into the game in Paris. You look at Arsenal’s away record in Europe this season and it is pretty good.”

Kurt Okraku: In order to apprehend Pooley's killer, we need to maintain the chase and tempo.

Kurt Okraku, the president of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), has urged more work to be done to apprehend the murderer of Kotoko supporter Nana Pooley.

Earlier this year, Pooley was fatally stabbed during a league game between Kotoko and Nsoatreman, causing widespread indignation.

During a Metro TV appearance, Okraku emphasized the significance of keeping up the momentum in the fight for justice. “To bring Pooley’s killer to justice, we need to maintain the chase and pace,” he said.

Okraku’s remarks demonstrate the GFA’s continued dedication to resolving safety issues in the football community. The league was suspended as a result of the incident, which also raised awareness of football violence and hooliganism.

The GFA, in partnership with relevant authorities, has been working on improving security measures at matches to prevent further incidents.

The GFA president urged all stakeholders, including the police and football clubs, to continue their efforts in ensuring the safety of fans and players alike.

Henry Winter claims that Thomas Partey "FOOLISHLY" cost Arsenal against PSG.

British writer and broadcaster Henry Winter cited Thomas Partey’s absence as a major contributing factor to Arsenal’s close loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final.

After receiving two yellow cards during Arsenal’s quarterfinal match against Real Madrid, the Ghanaian midfielder was suspended and missed Tuesday night’s match at the Emirates Stadium.

Henry Winter claims that Thomas Partey "FOOLISHLY" cost Arsenal against PSG.

The Gunners found it difficult to maintain control without Partey in the middle, and French winger Ousmane Dembélé’s goal in the fourth minute was the game-winning goal that gave PSG a 1-0 lead going into the second leg.

Speaking to Sky Sports after the match, Winter did not hold back in his assessment.

“Thomas partey foolishly cost Arsenal against PSG. The team missed him (Thomas Partey),” he said.

“His yellow card was just unnecessary, and his absence cost the team against PSG. Looking ahead, Winter noted that Partey’s return could be crucial for the Gunners. “It’s good he will be back on the return,” he added.

Arsenal will aim to overturn the deficit when they travel to face PSG at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday, May 7.
