Highest Paid Players in the Ghana Premier League
The Ghana Premier League officially established in
the year 1956, is the top most professional
football division of the football league system in
Ghana. The League was formed after the celebration
of the last Gold Coast Club Competition that was
held between the years 1953 and 1954. It was
organized by the Ghana Football Association and
achieved the 11th position in the list of best
leagues of Africa by the IFFHS from 2001 to 2010.
The Ghana Premier League has been mostly dominated
by two particular clubs, namely, Asante Kotoko and
Hearts of Oak. The Asante Kotoko club originates
in Kumasi, located in the Ashanti region of Ghana,
West Africa. They have championed the Ghana
Premier League twenty-four times, thereby creating
a glorious record for the club. Apart from that,
they have also gained victory in the CAF Champions
League twice. The club is also widely known as the
Porcupine Warriors. The Accra Hearts of Oak
Sporting Club has also successfully established
themselves as one of the best clubs by winning the
Ghana Premier League twenty times. The journal,
however, gives of the highest paid footballers in
the Ghana Premier League, based on the annual
income of the players.

The Confusion Regarding the Highest Paid Players
of the League
Just like you pay for essay, the players are also
paid on a monthly basis. However, the list of the
highest paid players in the Ghana Premier League
is determined by the annual salaries of the
players. Although initially there was a confusion
regarding the highest paid players of the league,
a particular sports news channel brought into
light the authentic list of highest paid
footballers in the Ghana Premier League. Jay, a
regular student in EduWorldUSA, shared his
excitement after finding out the list of highest
paid footballers of the league. He opened up about
his misconception that Felix Annan was the highest
paid player in the entire league. Though the
Asante Kotoko supporters claimed that Felix gets
the highest payment in the league, they also
questioned the technical and management teams
regarding his position on the bench as he is the
highest paid player. However, the veil of
confusion was lifted in no time, releasing the
genuine list of names.

The List
Just as you take the help of psychology homework
help, the fans take the help of Angel floodlight
sports on Angel to decide on the authentic list of
the highest paid footballers of the Ghana Premier
League. Let’s take you through a detailed list
of the names of the players.

Victorien Adebayor: The highest paid player of the
Ghana Premier League is none other than Victorien
Adebayor of the International Allies. There is
absolutely no denial about the fact that Adebayor
is the best player in the Ghana Premier League.
Therefore, judging by his skill and talent, he
deserves each and every Cedi. According to genuine
sources, it has been claimed that Adebayor
receives a whopping amount of GHc 83,376 every
year.

Abednego Tetteh: He comes second in the list of
the highest paid players in the Ghana Premier
League. Abednego had been training with the Accra
Heart of Oak club throughout the first half the
season after which he signed a contract with the
club, prior to the abrupt suspension of the league
due the pandemic. Abednego too, receives a lump
sum amount of GHc 60,000 as annual income. The
above-mentioned amount of annual salary makes
Tetteh the highest paid Ghanaian player in both
the Accra Heart of Oak as well as the Ghana
Premier League.

Felix Annan and Nuru Sulley: Both the footballers
of the Ghana Premier League have tied for the
third position as they receive the same amount of
annual payment of GHc 48,000. While both the
players are a national asset, Felix Annan is the
goalkeeper of Asante Kotoko and Nuru Sulley is the
former captain and current defender of the Accra
Heart of Oak club. Their annual income makes them
the second highest Ghanaian players in the Ghana
Premier League.

Mamane Lawali: He also belongs to the Accra Heart
of Oak club. Although he joined quite recently,
that is, prior to the suspension of the league,
the team and the fans have high expectations from
him. Similar to Adebayor, Lawali too, comes from
Niger. His annual income sums up to GHc 42,000.

Augustine Okrah and Kwame Poku: Okrah is one of
the best Asante Kotoko players who plays as an
attacking midfielder or a winger. Okrah’s annual
income is GHc 36,000. Another Asante Kotoko player
who ties with Okrah for the fifth position on the
list of the highest paid footballers of the Ghana
Premier League is Kwame Poku. Poku is an English
footballer who plays as a midfielder for the team
Colchester United.

Fatau Dauda: Dauda is an important national
goalkeeper of the team Legon Cities. The team has
an exciting characteristic where the crowds are
warmed up by musical performances prior to the
beginning of the match. Just as best online yoga
classes help the participants warm up, the team
Legon Cities does the same to excite the fans
present in the stadium for their Friday matches.
Dauda’s receives an annual payment of GHc
30,000.

Kwasi Donsu: Donsu has been an integral member of
the Madeama Football Club. He plays as a
midfielder and is the star player of the team.
Though other teams such as Asante Kotoko and Heart
of Oak have attempted to rope him to the
respective teams, it was of no avail as Donsu
remained loyal to Madeama. Kwasi Donsu, being one
of the highest paid players of Ghana Premier
League, brings home a lump sum amount of GHc
26,400 annually.

Yahya Mohammed: A former Asante Kotoko player is a
professional footballer who brings home an amount
of GHc 24,000 every year. Yahya is currently
playing for Aduana Stars in the center forward
position as a striker. Earlier he has also
represented the Black Stars Team B and has been
terrorizing other team players with his terrific
performances.
