Four European Clubs
Chase Doeplah
The 18 year old prodigy Patrick Doeplah seems
to be raising his game in Ghana since refusing to sign a
deal with elite club Asanti kotoko with news of four
reputable European clubs in the hunt for the budding
star.
According to reports, Italian side Piacenza, FC Saturn
of Russia and AS Nancy, FC Sion of France and
Switzerland are in th chase for the gifted teenager for
a possible midseason transfer.
Sources close to the player say Piacenza and AS Nancy
are closer than the other two clubs after their scouts
who are on a West African tour succumbed to the player's
fabulous talent after seeing him in a friendly involving
an All Star side which he led against Ghanaian side
Feyenoord.
The match which ended 2-2 was watched by the Italian and
French club scouts who were greatly impressed with the
kid's deft touches, artillery shots and sublime skills.
The other two clubs FC Saturn and FC Sion do not have
agents or scouts in Africa at the moment though, but,
they managed to get in touch with the player through his
agent Thomas Maloon MCclean who was said to have been
approached on his player's possible move to those
countries by an ex-Ghanaian international who is in love
with the player's artistry.
If all goes well, the youngster would be leaving for
Europe very soon for trials, but which of the four clubs
is still not yet known.
