Midfielder Umar Bashiru doesn't get nearly enough credit for his brilliance and the work he does for @KarelaUtd_FC. If @GhanaBlackstars head coach Otto Addo wants players from the @GhanaLeague, he could do worse than Bashiru...

@CAF_Online has pruned the list of its 2022 Player of the Year contenders to 10, with a further trimming-down to come. From the current pool of nominees, tho, how would a probable Top 5 shape up?

There's no debate: @imoroib is Ghana's best left-back right now. He's been for quite sometime now, in fact, which is why his continued exclusion from the @GhanaBlackstars - a team in dire need of a player with his skillset - is baffling... ✍🏾

Not having @AsisatOshoala and Thembi Kgatlana takes some of the gloss off the #AWCON2022 knockouts, true, but the prospect of a slightly more open tournament is still quite thrilling... ✍🏾

This is the only way we can beat Nigerians or get out of their shadows at least. !!!

Our indigenous highlife sound with Afrobeats artists, or reggae dancehall artists, but our Amponsah’s should not be left out, because clearly our producers ain’t getting the Afrobeats sound

A lot of exciting young players are changing the country’s they represent to Ghana 🇬🇭

After two great seasons, Brazilian @FabioGamaDos10 ends his stint at @AsanteKotoko_SC. The memories he leaves behind will last forever... ✍🏾

The @GhanaBlackstars have had a gaping hole burning through the left side of its defence in the last few years, but they now have a player - @TariqLamptey - perfectly suited to the role... ✍🏾

@ohenegyanfelix9's long-term future is now sorted, with the young forward now committed to @OfficialASRoma till 2026. Perhaps, tho, it's time to consider a year or so away on loan... ✍🏾

The early hype surrounding @Williaaams45's freshly announced Ghana switch suggests he is the solution to the @GhanaBlackstars' goalscoring headache. We've seen it all before... ✍🏾

A few weeks have passed since @AsanteKotoko_SC won the 21/22 @GhanaLeague title, but it's never too late to review the games that defined their season, is it?

@NGSuper_Falcons lost their opening game at the ongoing #AWCON2022 to @Banyana_Banyana on Monday evening. It's only the sixth time Nigeria have lost a game at the finals. Here's the story of the first...✍🏾 @the_logoleptic for @InkAndKicks

@OfficialBoadu just won the @MTNFACupGH for a second successive season, his third major trophy in a little over a year as head coach of @HeartsOfOakGH. Would the poor @GhanaLeague campaign he had this term still come back to haunt him, tho?

Quite a few players stood out for @AsanteKotoko_SC as the Porcupine Warriors romped to @GhanaLeague glory this season. Of these five, though, who'd you pick as Player of the Season?

Some of Ghana's national teams have been rechristened, but one of the new names doesn't sound quite right. Not that the @ghanafaofficial could help it, though... ✍🏾@the_logoleptic for @InkAndKicks_

@BechemUnitedFC had a great season, even if they fell just short of topping it with silverware after losing the @MTNFACupGH final to @HeartsOfOakGH. Next season might just be better... ✍🏾@the_logoleptic

@HeartsOfOakGH head coach @OfficialBoadu goes into his last game of the season, the @MTNFACupGH final, knowing it could be his last for the club after a very difficult campaign. Regardless of what follows, he has just one job... ✍🏾@the_logoleptic
