Berekum Chelsea defender Ahmed Adams says implementing salary cuts for Ghanaian premier league players is unadvisable as it will affect them and their respective families.

The impact of coronavirus on the global sports economy means clubs will have to take measures to cut down on expenses. Top European clubs like Juventus and Barcelona have all implemented salary cut measures to survive.

In Ghana the debate continues as to whether local clubs can also do same. Ahmed Adams is the latest to add his voice to the discourse.

According to him, slashing the scrimpy salary of the Ghanaian premier league player will lead to drastic effects on him and his family and should not be encouraged.

He told local station Nhyira FM “the pay cut is a good idea in some way but the players will be affected a lot since we also have families to take care of. At this moment the price of gari has even increased”

“How much are our salaries even? None of the clubs in Ghana even pay more than €1000” he noted.

Ghana has so far recorded 214 cases of CoronaVirus with 5 deaths confirmed.

Football activities have been halted as a result of the outbreak of the disease.
