GH Ballers Abroad: Issahaku, Baidoo, other best-performing Ghanaian players over the weekend

Ghanaian players continued their impressive showings in Europe and other leagues across the globe as all the top domestic leagues finally kicked off.

The main stars on last week’s list could not find the back out of the net, but they still put in great shifts. Mohammed Kudus starred in Tottenham Hotspur's 2-0 win over Manchester City, and Antoine Semenyo added to his tally with an assist.

For the second episode of “GH Ballers Abroad” this 2025/2026 season, Pulse Sports picks these six footballers as the best performing Ghanaian stars over the weekend of August 22 to August 24, 2025, due to their impact and output for their respective teams.

Hope Avayevu found his scoring boots in the USL Championship, netting the third goal before the half-hour mark as Phoenix Rising ran away with a 4-1 demolition of Colorado Springs.

On Sunday, Emmanuel Yeboah opened the scoring just before recess in Halmstad’s 2-1 victory over Elfsborg. The hosts equalised in the 66th minute before Pascal Gregor’s 85th-minute strike won Halmstad all three points in the Swedish top-tier league clash.
