Assistant coach of the Black stars Ibrahim Tanko says he cannot blame any young footballer who would want to seek greener pastures outside the country, as conditions here do not favor their stay.

He was speaking in relations to several clubs seeking the services of the current Black Starlets players who won silver at the just ended Africa U17 Championship.

"It is difficult to tell a 17 or 20 year old player to stay in Ghana if an offer comes for them, because we all know the situation here,so you can't blame them for moving out of the Country to play, but i would advice them to move to a good club because we all know the story of Dominic Adiyaih".

Ghanaian striker Dominic Adiyiah who won the best player during the 2009 U20 World Cup earned a move to Italian giants AC Milan but his career has hit a low. He has since been loaned out to several clubs and is currently at Nakhon Ratchasima in the Thai League.

Black Starlets players like Emmanuel Toku and Eric Ayiah have all been linked with clubs in Europe.
