New Black Stars goalkeeper coach Daniel Gasper has expressed admiration for the standard of goalkeeping in Ghana following his first major scouting assignment in the country.
The Portuguese-American trainer was at the Accra Sports Stadium on Wednesday to observe the Ghana Premier League clash between Accra Hearts of Oak and Karela United as part of a wider talent identification exercise ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Gasper, who officially joined the Black Stars technical team on April 28, said he was impressed by the quality on display, particularly among the goalkeepers.
He singled out Hearts of Oak’s Benjamin Asare and Karela United shot-stopper Solomon Agbasi, who has been included in Carlos Queiroz’s 23-man squad for the upcoming international friendly against Mexico.
“I enjoyed Hearts of Oak vs Karela. A lot of talent on the field. Absolutely, Benjamin Asare is a good goalkeeper. He is part of the national team pool. Agbasi has got quality. We have some good goalkeepers in Ghana,” Gasper told 3Sports.
Gasper, who has worked closely with head coach Carlos Queiroz across several international assignments, including four FIFA World Cups, is expected to play a key role in strengthening Ghana’s defensive setup as the team prepares for the global tournament.
