Former Asante Kotoko defender Emmanuel Agyemang Badu has disclosed that the outbreak of Coronavirus pandemic has affected his career plans particularly in securing a move abroad.
The stalwart defender signed for struggling Ghana Premier League side Inter Allies ahead of the next transfer window after leaving the Porcupine Warriors after refusal of contract extension.
Badu was heading abroad after rejecting a contract extension from the Premier League giants but according to him, the disease halted his move to Portugal.
Speaking in an interview with Ashh FM, he explains why the change of plans to sign and play for a local club.
According to the player he had a deal in place to travel to Portugal but due to the coronavirus pandemic there was a lockdown in Portugal which scuppered the deal.
“It’s true I have signed for Inter Allies, Football management acquired a deal for me in Portugal.
I travelled to Mozambique but couldn’t get the visa because there was a lockdown. I had to play football for some time that’s why I have signed for Inter Allies”, he revealed.
