Ghanaian players abroad: top performing stars over the weekend
Ghanaian footballers across Europe turned heads once again over the weekend with a series of standout performances, crucial goals, and influential contributions for their respective clubs. From the English Premier League to leagues in Serbia and the Czech Republic, Ghana’s football exports continue to demonstrate consistency, technical quality, and growing influence on the global stage.
Kudus, Karikari, and Amankwah Lead the Goal-Scoring Chart
One of the biggest highlights came from England, where Mohammed Kudus delivered yet another moment of brilliance in the Premier League.
The Black Stars midfielder scored a spectacular goal for Tottenham Hotspur in their narrow 2-1 defeat to Fulham. Despite the loss, Kudus’ strike stood out as one of the finest goals of the week, reinforcing his position as one of the most exciting Ghanaian players in Europe’s top leagues.
In Serbia’s SuperLiga, Kwaku Karikari continued his impressive run of form after netting the decisive goal in Zeleznicar Pancevo’s 1-0 win over FK Radnicki 1923. His clinical finish proved enough to secure all three points for the Serbian side and further solidified his status as a rising Ghanaian forward abroad.
Over in England’s Championship, Forson Amankwah added his name to the scoresheet when he powered Norwich City to a 3-1 victory over Queens Park Rangers at Carrow Road. The Ghanaian’s contribution was crucial in helping Norwich maintain momentum in their quest for promotion.
In the Czech Fortuna Liga, Prince Kwabena Adu continued his fine scoring form after netting once again in Viktoria Plzen’s 2-1 victory over FK Mlada Boleslav. The goal adds to the increasing buzz around his impressive season in the Czech top flight.
Rounding off the list of Ghanaian goal scorers, Douglas Owusu found the back of the net in the Serbian Superliga, scoring his fifth goal of the season to help Radnik Surdulica secure a vital 2-0 away win against TSC Backa Topola. With each passing week, Owusu is emerging as one of Ghana’s most consistent performers in the Serbian league.
