Partey brings laughter to Black Stars camp
During the session on September 2, 2025, newcomer Derrick Arthur Kohn had his first taste of life in the Black Stars setup.
The Union Berlin defender, who earned his maiden call-up, decided to document his experience by taking over the camera.
Clearly overcome by the moment, Kohn was heard saying while he recorded, "My first training for Ghana. I am very proud."

As he moved closer to Partey and Inaki Williams, he politely asked the pair for feedback on his performance.
Partey, never one to miss a chance to lighten the mood, quizzed him, 'Is this your site?' The unexpected question drew laughter from Kohn, who could barely keep a straight face.
The jokes did not end there. With a cheeky grin, Kohn added, 'I need money too', while Partey and Inaki playfully teased Kohn about running an adult content site, sending all three into another round of laughter.
The video of their hilarious interaction is below:
The 26-year-old then mentioned that he had started a podcast and asked the experienced midfielder to give it a shoutout.
Without hesitation, Partey delivered another witty line that left everyone in stitches: 'Follow Derrick, he will show you the way to Heaven'.

New date set for Partey's court appearance
Partey’s lighthearted moment with teammates came just hours after a twist in his serious ongoing legal battle in the UK.
According to the Daily Mail, the 32-year-old was due back in court on September 2 after six charges were filed against him.
However, reports from The Telegraph said that the hearing had been postponed and reassigned to a different court.
Partey is now expected to reappear in court on September 15 at Southwark Crown Court in relation to the ongoing case.
For now, his focus remains on football. Alongside Kohn, Williams, and the rest of the Black Stars squad, Partey will travel to Chad for their Group I clash on September 4.
Four days later, the team returns to Accra to face Mali. Victories in both fixtures would all but secure Ghana a place at the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the US, Canada, and Mexico.
