Two of Ghana’s most promising young football talents are set to swap the heat of West Africa for the elite training grounds of the English Premier League.
In a major move for Ghanaian youth development, KickNation Sports Agency has secured high-profile trials for the duo at Chelsea FC and West Ham United.
The youngsters will also visit several other partner clubs across England as they look to secure a future in European football.
The deal was spearheaded by Wunna Haruna, CEO of KickNation Sports and son of prominent politician Haruna Iddrisu.
This initiative marks the latest chapter in the agency’s mission to bridge the gap between Ghana’s grassroots talent and the world’s most prestigious academies.
For the two players, these trials represent more than just a training stint; they are a direct audition for a professional career in the world’s most-watched league.
Wunna Haruna confirmed that the primary goal is to immerse the players in a world-class environment, ensuring they are prepared for the rigours of the professional game once they reach the required age for international transfers.
“The players will be having trials at Chelsea, West Ham and some other clubs through our partnership,” Haruna said.
He further outlined a vision that extends beyond the club level. The hope is that these youngsters will eventually follow in the footsteps of national icons, representing the Black Stars on the international stage while competing at the pinnacle of European football.
KickNation is no stranger to navigating the complex world of international football transfers.
The Haruna family has a history of identifying and placing elite talent, most notably facilitating the high-profile move of Fatawu Issahaku from Steadfast FC to Sporting CP.
By securing these latest opportunities in London and beyond, the agency is reinforcing its reputation as a key player in West African football development.
As the global scouting network becomes increasingly competitive, direct partnerships between African agencies and Premier League giants are vital.
These trials offer immediate exposure to UEFA-licensed coaches and provide access to state-of-the-art sports science and tactical training.
Most importantly, they create a clear, professional roadmap that leads directly from Ghanaian academies to European contracts.
With this latest move, KickNation continues to expand its international reach, turning the dreams of young Ghanaian athletes into tangible professional opportunities.
