The Ghanaian midfielder has disclosed that he feels disappointed to have failed to secure those moves very early in his career.
Now 29 and playing for Accra Great Olympics, the former TP Mazembe midfielder has opened up about his failed moves to Europe.
“I am disappointed because I had chances to travel outside to train with some European clubs like Tottenham, Inter Milan, Monaco, but it didn’t happen the way I wished. However, I still moved on and I believe that things will get better,” He told Pulse Ghana
Awako added that much is expected of players at the U-20 level by clubs.
“It is different from playing in the U-17 team. It is the U-20 so those clubs out there have some expectations because you are already mature. If you are playing for the U-20 you have already hit 18, 19, 20 years of age so you should be a matured player. They have some target that they want to see from the player”. He added.
Gladson Awako after the U-20 World Cup in Egypt moved to the Spanish side, Real Club Recreativo de Huelva in 2010 but soon returned to the Ghana Premier League to play for Kpando Hearts of Lions.
