Aduana Stars striker Yahaya Mohammed to take pay cut in fight against COVID-19
Aduana Stars striker Yahaya Mohammed has disclosed that he will gladly take a pay cut to help the club in fight against the coronanavirus pandemic in the country.
Most players across Europe are taking pay-cuts to help sustain their clubs and the non-playing staffs as the disease also called COVID-19 gradually affects various sectors massively worldwide.
Ghana is currently under a two-week partial locked down to curb the spread of the virus.
As at 6th April 2020, a total of 287 cases of COVID-19 with five (5) deaths have been recorded.
"Per my relationship with the Aduana Stars, if management decide to reduce our salaries I will be the first person to accept it because I know the club do not have any sponsorship apart from Betway," the former Asante Kotoko star told Bryt FM.
"The club only depend on gate proceeds and in Ghana, apart from Kotoko and Hearts of Oak who have the highest fan base the rest struggle to even get much from gate proceeds.
"So we will do that to help the club owner for him know that he is dealing with reliable people who can help in difficult time."
He concluded, "What I know is that, Ronaldo has his own sponsors including several Europeans players and so in this difficult times they can accept pay cut, but in the case of local players there is no single sponsor and that makes it difficult to cope with pay cut. So I will entreat Ghanaians to stop making comparison."
