Black Starlets coach Frimpong Manso says Ghana is seeing a sharp drop in natural strikers at the U-17 level.He believes most young footballers now prefer to play as wingers, largely influenced by global stars like Lionel Messi.Frimpong Manso, who has been scouting talent across the country, shared his concerns about the trend.”The position were all concentrated in the midfield if you ask 8 out of 10 Ghanaian players they well tell you they are midfielders but now it is shifting to wingers. They all say I am a winger, I am a winger because of Messi and others it is influencing certain people mostly youngsters,” as aired by Peace FM.”That position you need certain qualities to say that you are a winger that is were the problems is now. With strikers it has decreased very much,” he added.He emphasized that the lack of proper strikers could pose challenges for future national teams if not addressed soon.
