Godfred Donsah, Ghana’s new Michael Essien, born in Accra,
same size in height and can play the same positions i.e. Centre Mid, Defensive
Mid and finally Right Back. Known for his powerful displays in midfield at Italian
minnows Cagliari.
But it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows for Donsah, he began his career with DC United Agogo back in Ghana, Donsah
then went to the eternal city for a trial with AS Roma but sadly for Donsah
nothing come of it, there was one club that did give him his breakthrough and
that was Palermo, Donsah was immediately sent out on loan Hellas Verona, who
has just finished 2nd in Serie B and got promoted to Serie A. Sadly once
again it was heartache for Donsah as he only mange to play 22 minutes for Hellas
Verona.
But all was not lost as Cagliari came in and took him for
the 2014-15 season, it was at Cagliari where Donsah would manage to make 22
appearances for the Rossoblu’s (Red-Blues)
and get on the score sheet on 2 occasions, one against Torino (Press here tosee the thunderbolt) and another against Atalanta, even though Donsah made his
breakthrough in Serie A, it still wasn’t enough to stop Cagliari getting
relegated to the second tier of Italian football, by finishing in a disappointing
18th place.
In the summer window, Donsah has been linked with a whole
host of clubs with Bologna, Napoli, Juventus and even Chelsea. We all know Jose
loves a Midfielder with a fantastic set of lungs, to bomb up and down the pitch
to set up attacks and cover when defending is required. But a move to Chelsea is
it realistic you ask? No it’s not, at the tender age of 19 I would love to see
him at Chelsea in the future for sure, Donsah has all the attributes to succeed
in the Premier League, which so many Africans have flourished Yaya Toure,
Drogba, Essien and the list goes on, but for now Donsah needs to take a leaf out
of Paul Pogba’s book, stay where you are get the playing time you deserve and
the results will come your way, but for sure remember the Godfred Donsah.
