'It shows we have the quality' - Alidu Seidu on Ghana's growing presence in Ligue 1

Ghana defender Alidu Seidu has pointed to the expanding contingent of Ghanaian players in France's Ligue 1 as evidence of the country's football quality, expressing pride in his compatriots' success in one of Europe's top leagues.

The Stade Rennais right-back highlighted the significance of having multiple Ghanaian internationals competing at the highest level in France.

"This is very good for us because Ligue 1 is one of the biggest leagues in the world," Seidu stated. "Seeing more Ghanaians here makes me proud. It shows we have the quality to compete at the highest level."

Seidu's comments come amid a notable increase in Ghanaian representation in the French top flight, with players including Gideon Mensah (Auxerre), Salis Abdul Samed (Nice), Ernest Nuamah (Lyon), Mohammed Salisu (Monaco), and Nathaniel Adjei (Lorient) all featuring regularly for their respective clubs.

The growing presence of Ghanaian talent in Ligue 1 not only demonstrates the individual quality of these players but also strengthens the talent pool available for the national team. As these players gain valuable experience in a competitive European league, the Black Stars stand to benefit from their developed skills and exposure to high-level football.

Seidu's own journey from Ghana to establishing himself in Ligue 1 serves as an inspiration for aspiring footballers in his home country, while the collective success of Ghanaian players in France underscores the country's ability to produce talent capable of excelling in top European competitions.
