In the video, Yaw Dabo noted that his team at the sports academy is doing a great job in terms of sports in the country. He added that he knows the incredible talents here, having spotted Ghanaian professional players Thomas Partey, Mohammed Kudus, and Ernest Nuamah.

"I like to recruit young talent to push them to Europe. That is why I am inviting my brother from the UK, Arsenal, to come and watch them. When he sees good players, he can send them to Europe for me. Because of Dabo Soccer Academy, my brother is here," he said in the brief interview.

Ghanaian sports journalist highlighted possible qualities that scouts look out for

In an exclusive interview with YEN.com.gh, Ghanaian sports journalist Bill Eshun mentioned some things many scouts look out for when recruiting potential talents.

He noted that scouts from every club abroad have criteria for the player profile they look for when scouting. He added that when it comes to player recruitment, the kinds of profiles they look out for differ from club to club.

"The kind of tendencies and traits they are looking for to select the players that they need. They consider the physical nature of the person and the technical nature of the player to select," he said.

Speaking of the Arsenal scout, Phil Antwi's visit to Ghana, he said that it was good for players in Ghana to showcase their talent and possibly get drafted. He said that it did not necessarily mean that Mr Antwi was going to take so many talents from Ghana to Arsenal to go and train them in England.

Mr Eshun further stated that it was very nice to see a scout from a very good club such as Arsenal come to Ghana to look at players and try to recruit them for their club.
