Leading the list on the continent is Ghanaian club Inter Allies, who recently relegated to the division one league in the just ended Ghana Premier League season, exported 64 players.

Club owner, former Inter Milan and Monaco striker Mohamed Kallon expressed satisfaction with the administrative structure of his club.

“Now, it is very clear that FC Kallon has something to show, but we are humble,” he told FSL News.

Kallon claimed his club did not make money on many of these players but was pleased that some of them are happy with their respective families.

“This is what I refer to as development – we did not make money on most of those players, but they are very comfortable with their families in the diaspora today.”
