“Asante Kotoko is a tradition for the family. Hopefully, I will now follow some games in the Ghana Premier League”.

Fosu-Mensah was born to Ghanaian parents in Amsterdam and represented the Netherlands at youth level.

He is still eligible to represent Ghana at the senior level despite playing for Netherlands per the new FIFA eligibility rules for playing below age 21.

Fosu-Mensah joined Bayer Leverkusen on a four-year deal from English Premier League side Manchester United last summer after failing to break into the first team of the Red Devils.
