My move to Dnipro was not a bad one- Samuel Inkoom
Ghanaian right back Samuel Inkoom has insisted that his move to Ukranian side Dnipro in 2011 was not a bad one, although he admitted that he was not ready to move at the time.
He added that his club at the time, Basel, were willing to part ways with him because the money offered was a good one.
“I think going to Ukraine wasn’t a bad move because when I was going there, everybody knows that Juande Ramos was the coach there. A coach with so much experience, he had coached one of the biggest teams in the world, Real Madrid. And when [Ramos] says that he wants you in your team, then you must know that he has seen something special in you,” he told Owuraku Ampofo on Joy News.
“Basel [wanted] the money because it was a huge money for a right back. I was having a new born baby as well. I will just say that in my opinion, I didn’t want to go [to Dnipro]. The club spoke to me, we had a conference [between] me, the president of the team, the football director, the coach and I told them I wasn’t ready to go because of my baby.”
“At the end of the day, they loved the money and they wanted me to go to help the club as well. So I thought about it and decided that why not? If I can also bring something onto the table for the club to develop then why not? So I had to sacrifice,”
The 31 year old now plays for Georgian side Samtredia.
