Ghanaian man sends DM to Djed Spence
One Ghanaian man sent voice notes to the English Defender's DM expressing his dissatisfaction with him.
The Ghanaian man spoke both Twi, a local dialect and English in the voice note he recorded for the footballer.
In the first voice note, it seems the man spoke only Twi, since he indicated in his second audio that he was speaking English, so Djed Spence does not need to find a translator.
