Performance of Ghanaian players abroad

Prime News Ghana brings you a comprehensive wrap of how Ghanaian players performed for their respective clubs across the globe over the weekend.

It was a quiet weekend for Ghanaian players in terms of conversion rate as few registered their names on the score sheet.

However, performance-wise, there were plenty of positives from most of the players across the major leagues as well as the lesser known leagues.

The weekend went awfully as Daniel Amartey suffered a horrific ankle injury in the dying embers of Leicester City’s draw with West Ham United at the King Power Stadium.

Frank Acheampong also scored his sixteenth goal of the season in the Chinese Super League but it could have been more had he buried the chances that came his way in the game. He also missed a penalty in the game.

Bernard Tekpetey was on target for SC Paderborn but it wasn’t enough to secure his side the maximum points.

Bernard Kumordzi returned from a long suspension to warm the bench for Kortrijk in their stalemate with Cercle Brugge.
