Adu's Luton move 'huge for women's football'

Speaking to YEN.com.gh, he said:
"I am not sure we have had a Ghanaian player who has played in the women's league at home and made it to English football. Adu's career has been remarkable, from playing for Halifax Ladies to now making it to England, that is a huge plus for Ghana.
"With her experience of playing in France for Evian Thanon Grand and Belediyespor [in Turkiye], she is definitely going to succeed in England. Her input could go a long way to affect future Ghanaian signings to English football."
