Mensah off to trials in Russia

Free State Stars defender Jonathan Mensah has gone on trial at newly-crowned champions Dynamo Kiev, likely ending his one-season spell in the Premier Soccer League.

Mensah, recently called up for the first time to the Ghana national side, has been one of the finds of the just concluded PSL campaign.

He arrived at Stars with coach David Duncan at the start of the season, but while Duncan was fired after just one game, Mensah stayed on to become a regular and later won a call-up to the Black Stars squad.

Mensah was also a member of the African Youth Championship winning team in Rwanda in January.

Dynamo Kiev won the championship in their country at the weekend but last Thursday lost in the semifinal of the Uefa Cup.
