Ghana's Grade A EPL potentials

Kwadwo Asamoah has recently signed for Juventus, I realise that the young midfielder is overjoyed to become a part of such a significant club, and giddy at the prospect of playing alongside Andrea Pirlo in midfield, I realise that the chances of him arriving in the EPL in the near future are about as high as Sunderland unveiling a statue of Asamoah Gyan…but just imagine it…

Imagine in a few years time, imagine Asamoah after a clutch of Serie A titles, after having established Juve as a European powerhouse once again, after having pulling the strings in Ghana’s midfield as the Black Stars play their way to a World Cup semi-final in Brazil 2014… imagine the talent that could then be unleashed upon an English audience.

Combining pace, power, and creativity, as well as a sublime footballing technique, Asamoah has been destined for the top since his early days at Liberty Professionals. His tutelage in Italy began back in 2008 as Udinese brought him over to Europe in a convoluted deal. Several consistent years in northeastern Italy has now brought him to Turin.

Whilst things didn’t completely work out for Black Stars great Stephen Appiah at Juve, fans in Italy and Ghana are hoping that Asamoah can become an international superstar at La Vecchia Signora. Perhaps a few glorious years in Italy may lead to a move to the Premier League, certainly a handful of top teams will be keeping tabs on the Old Lady’s latest Black Star.
