Some Ghanaian footballers made significant moves during the summer transfer window of 2023 in search of a fresh challenge in their careers.

Mohammed Kudus' transfer from Ajax to West Ham United and Daniel Amartey's move to Besiktas became more topical due to players and the clubs involved.

Aside from the two aforementioned deals, other players also made major transfers that can potentially be equivalent to Kudus' and Amartey's.

Therefore, GhanaWeb has put together the top five Ghanaian players to transfer in the soon-to-close 2023 Summer.
