    Nothing new. They just mentioned the $1million deal with Nike and that "He's even attracted interest from the Premiership" (no specific teams mentioned though.)

    That would be Man U who are talking about him getting the red carpet treatment as a "special guest" during their US tour this summer. [​IMG]

    Liverpool and Newcastle have also shown interest in the lad. Trying to get my fellow Gunners to take a liking to the chap.

    The premiership attracts players from all over the world. Will he be the first Ghana born player in the EPL?

    <protect adu mode>Be sure to tell them all that he needs a few years seasoning in MLS before it would be wise to sign him. And that he can't play pro overseas 'til he's 18.[​IMG] </protect adu mode>

    Yeboah has played in the Premier League.

    Wasn`t it Leeds?

    From the net (where all truth is found) [​IMG]

    Arthur Wharton, the world’s first black professional footballer, was born in the Gold Coast (now called Ghana) in 1865. Twenty one years later he became the first man in the world to run the 100 yards in 10 seconds at a national championship. This was subsequently accepted as the first world record in the event. In 1884 he made his debut in first class football for Darlington, moving on to Preston North End.

    Beat me to it, a short blurb but interesting to see a video of him signing autographs at such a young age.

    I believe Yeboah is Freddy's uncle?

    And there is yet another Tony Yeboah playing lower-division (like 6th) soccer in Germany and I think he's from Ghana too. Basically, the moral of the story is there are at least three documented Tonys Yeboah.
