Deputy Sports Minister Vincent Asamoah wants stakeholders of the Ghana Premier League to do more to attract Ghanaian players on fringes abroad to return home.

His comments come after watching Richard Kingson, Godwin Attram and Dan Quaye play for Great Olympics in their 0-0 draw with Hearts of Oak in the Accra derby last Sunday.

“In fact there have been some discussions with some GFA officials to try and make a conscious effort to attract some of the players struggling to get playing time abroad,” Asamoah told Joy FM.

“Lots of our players are out there warming benches. If we can bring back these guys I think stadiums would be full.

“There should be a conscious effort. The GFA and all stakeholders should come together to ensure that we get the quality that we all need.”
