Injury hampers Okrah’s Swedish move

The agent of former Bechem United striker,  Augustine Okrah, has explained that injuries, rather than non-performance, has hampered the player’s growth at Swedish side BK Hacken.

The reigning First Capital Plus Premier League’s Most Valuable Player and Goal-King could not break into the first team of the Swedish top-flight side.

But his agent, Oliver Arthur, has jumped to the defence of the talented forward by saying that Okrah could not make an impact because of injuries.

“Okrah arrived in Sweden short of match fitness in August 2014 at the peak of the Swedish season because Ghana’s league ended two months prior,” the FIFA agent told ghanaoccernet.com

“Then when he hit form playing for the reserves, he got injured in his debut competitive fixture.”

Arthur further explained that the playmaker recovered from that groin injury only last week and would rest and start training again in the second week of November.

He, however, confirmed that the player would not be joining Hacken on a permanent contract.

“Okrah will join a new club in the next transfer window since we mutually agreed not to extend the Swedish loan deal. He is a Bechem United player and he shall remain so until we conclude one of the ongoing series of transfer negotiations.”
