Former Ghanaian footballer Laryea Kingston recently linked up with top European stars Paul Pogba and Kevin Danso joining a training session in the United States.

The meet-up happened during a light workout session, which Kingston later shared with his fans on social media.

“Activation session before pre-season with top players...Europa League winner Kevin Danso and Paul Pogba,” the former Ghana midfielder wrote on Instagram, clearly thrilled to be among elite company once again.

Paul Pogba, who helped France win the 2018 FIFA World Cup, has been out of action since September 2023 due to a doping ban.

With the suspension nearing its end, the 32-year-old is reportedly close to a deal with AS Monaco, per renowned transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Pogba has openly expressed his desire to return to top-level football and feature at the 2026 World Cup.

Kevin Danso, the Austrian-born defender of Ghanaian descent, has meanwhile committed his future to Tottenham Hotspur.

After initially joining Spurs on loan from French club RC Lens, he impressed enough to earn a long-term contract with the North London side.

Laryea Kingston’s life after football

Though no longer an active player, Kingston continues to impact the game.

He joined RPS Academies as head coach in September 2024, shortly after stepping down as coach of Ghana’s U-17 team, the Black Starlets.

Before that, he had stints at Right to Dream Academy and Danish side FC Nordsjælland, where he worked with their U-18 squad.

Laryea also holds a UEFA B Licence, a testament to his dedication to nurturing the next generation of footballers.

Laryea's playing career in retrospect

Kingston’s own playing journey saw him don the jerseys of Hearts of Oak, Lokomotiv Moscow, and Hearts of Midlothian, among others.

He earned 36 caps for the Ghana national team, scoring six times and appearing in multiple Africa Cup of Nations tournaments, per Transfermarkt.

Though he never featured at a FIFA World Cup, the 44-year-old remains a respected figure in Ghanaian football circles, and moments like this training link-up with Pogba and Danso show just how connected he still is to the game at the highest level.
