West Ham United striker Michail Antonio has arrived in Ghana for a short visit following the international break.
The Jamaica forward touched down on Sunday evening and was received by West Ham fans in Ghana at the Kotoko International Airport.
Antonio reportedly owns a football academy in Ghana, which he is in the country to visit.
The academy, named Samba Stars, is based in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. Antonio will be travelling to Kumasi on Monday to inspect the progress of the football academy.
“I’ve come here to do my work. We’ve started an academy here in Kumasi, Bompata,” he told the media, as quoted by Ghana Soccernet.
“We know about all the talent here; we’ve seen Mo [Kudus] is at the club (West Ham) right now.
“We just want to give the boys over here the opportunity to break through to the Premier League.”
Meanwhile, in a video shared on social media, a number of West Ham fans, known as the Ghanaian Hammers, were at the airport to receive their star.
Antonio has been included in Jamaica’s squad for the CONCACAF Nations League games against the United States.
