This summer has been promising for most of our Ghanaian players. Of course, hard work paid off. From Andre Ayew and his brother Jordan making huge transfers to the EPL to Sulley Muntari's Saudi move, EmQuarteyGh brings it all to you here...
Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan ended his 4-year spell at Al Ain after scoring a whooping 95 goals in 83 matches. He signed for Chinesse outfit Shangai SIPG making him one of the highest paid footballers in the world. He socred in his debut tho.
2. Abdul-Majeed Warris from Trabzonspor to FC Loreint
Warris moved to FC Lorient just when the French outfit cashed in on Jordan Ayew. It seems to be the perfect replacement for Lorient. Let's all hope he lives up to the right expectations.

4. Andre Ayew from Marseille to Swansea City
Andre Ayew signed for English side Swansea on the 10th of June following a successful career in France. He was immediately handed his favourite no.10 jersey and it seems to me, he made the right move because, he already has 2 goals early on in the season (with only two matches played).
