Boro target African youngsters
Middlesbrough are set to link up with the Ghanaian FA, as we look to send scouts to search for talented players in Africa, According to GHANAsoccernet
Boro’s Head of Academy Thiago Cruz is head of a group which has planned meetings with a leading sports agency and directors from some of Ghana’s biggest clubs.
At the moment, nothing has been signed yet, but we are expected to agree on a partnership deal, which will help Boro scout African stars at the beginning of their career. Which hopefully would mean they would come to join our academy instead of moving to one of Europe’s biggest clubs.
The Boro recruitment team will fly in on Saturday for three days so they will be able to meet with executives from Eleven Sports Management – a well established global network founded by former Wolves and Manchester City striker Mel Eves, one of the first licenced football agents in the 1990s.
