No one can convince me the Ghana Premier League is of low quality – Ex-Kotoko defender Eric Donkor
Former Asante Kotoko defender Eric Donkor has rejected claims that the Ghana Premier League is of low quality.
Donkor, who is the Chief Executive Officer of Eastern Regional Division Two outfit Koforidua Suhyen Sporting Club (KSSC) in an interview with Akoma FM said the perception that the Ghanaian top-flight was attractive years ago than now is null and void.
According to him, current players don’t play the league for long, as compared to previous which has gone a long way to affect the league.
He added that the longevity of players in the league some years ago made supporters love them which made league attractive.
“We have quality players in the GPL who can match with players like Stephen Oduro, Ishmael Addo, Opoku Nti, and others. Richmond Lamptey is comparable to Stephen Oduro”
“People had loved for players like Malik Jaber, Stephen Oduro, and Charles Taylor and the rest because they played in our league for a longer period of time, and it is why their names are mentioned always. However, no one can persuade me that the league is of low quality”
“The current GPL players are of high quality, but fans can't get enough of them because they're always leaving the country. Stephen Oduro may be slightly ahead of Lamptey because Oduro has played in the local league for a long time, but Lamptey's future at Kotoko is uncertain at the moment”
