Former Black Stars coach and captain, Charles Kwablan Akonnor is very excited with the transfer of Ghanaian defender Jonas Adjei Adjetey to his former club VfL Wolfsburg in the German Bundesliga.
The 22-year-old joined the Wolves in the just-closed January transfer window from Swiss giants FC Basel – where he enjoyed an impressive four-year stay.
The stalwart defender is yet to make his debut in the Green and White shirt having warmed the bench in their 1-2 home loss to Borussia Dortmund last Saturday, February 14.
Speaking on the move, Akonnor who is currently the head coach of Kenyan giants Gor Mahia, expressed elation and has advised Jonas to work extremely hard to establish himself as a mainstay in the team and one of the fans favourite.
”It’s a great move. For Wolfsburg to sign him means he definitely has something good to offer,” the Gor Mahia gaffer began by telling Graphic Sports.”If training starts at 10 a.m., he should be there by 9 a.m. and work on himself at the gym.
“When I went there, I was the first black player to captain the team. It was a difficult moment then, but now doors have been opened, and they understand the culture of the black man.
“All he needs to do now is to work hard, become a starter and not just a bench player. That will help and prepare him for the next level.”
CK Akonnor during his playing days enjoyed most of his time in Germany where he had a five-year spell with Wolfsburg and captained the team at certain point.
Jonas Adjei Adjetey is currently an integral member of the Black Stars and will hope to command much playing time to make the squad for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup.
