Comment. This is still irrelevant as he hasn't played in a professional league.

How can it be irrelevant? If he meets
WP:N it doesn't matter if he doesn't meet
WP:ATHLETE. Are you suggesting that an article be deleted because you think
WP:ATHLETE is more important than
WP:N?

Keep - plays in a notable African league. The sources included above are not irrelevant.

Keep. The fact that the ruling body of the Ghana Premier League is known as the
Professional League Board would imply that this is a professional league. Is it just me or is anyone else finding these nominations a little disruptive? Surely, if the issue is whether a particlular league is professional, the discussion should be in one place rather than spread over multiple AfDs.

Comment all of the sources are trivial name-checks in match reports, thus they do not pass
WP:GNG. --Jimbo[online] 20:56, 17 July 2009 (UTC)reply
Given the lack of African media on the Internet, that we are getting so many name checks suggests notability. Football is big in Ghana, and the population of the country is much bigger than nations such as Portugal, Holland, or Greece. It's
systemic bias to try an eliminate the top footballers of such countries.
