“I recommended Mohammed Salah to FC Basel” – Hearts of Oak star Samuel Inkoom reveals

Samuel Inkoom, a former defender of the Black Stars, has disclosed that he played a role in recommending Mohamed Salah for his initial professional opportunity in Europe with Swiss club FC Basel.

Inkoom revealed that he conveyed a message from his Sporting Director to Salah after witnessing his performance during training sessions against the Black Stars.

During a trip to Egypt for a game, Inkoom, who used to wear the number 22 jersey, trained with the team that included Salah and former Ghanaian striker Eric Bekoe!

Inkoom’s Sporting Director noticed Salah’s impressive speed and asked him if he could speak to Salah on his behalf.

“I recommended Mo Salah for FC Basel,” Inkoom, who currently plays for Hearts of Oak told Accra-based Peace FM.

“I used to wear the Number 22 jersey at the time when the Black Stars travelled to Egypt for a game and it was the team that Mo Salah played, alongside former Ghanaian striker Eric Bekoe, that we used to train with.
