Ghanaians have an interest in the Russian league with much-travelled Ghanaian forward Prince Koranteng Amoako.

He arrived from Sporting Cristal in Peru in South America, where he reached the final of the Copa Libertadores.

Amoako has signed for Saturn, the team that finished sixth in the league.

The only wrong note for African players in Russia was the relegation of Nigerian Louis Udoh and Ghanaian Baba Adamu at Chernomorets Novorossiisk to the second division.
