"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.
While speaking, the Kumawood star jokingly said he would explore the Ghanaian culture with Mr Antwi, such as eating fufu and offering him a Ghanaian girlfriend.

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.
"Because he would have his different eye and it would be totally different from a scout from lets say Dortmund coming to Ghana to come and look at some players."
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.
