Ghanaian international, Francis Afriyie hopes to play in the English Premier League one day.

Afriyie currently plays for Botswanan side, Township Rollers and according to him, he is hoping to play in the English Premier League before he put his boots to rest.

In an interview, he said, “My prime target is to play to the highest level and become the richest guy in football. As a footballer, one painful thing is becoming a burger after retirement”
