Former Prempeh captain Osei Nyarko (Apio) came to show his skills on Training Day of the Prempeh.org Soccer League,
where he asked to be allowed to play for his former house. He was in his last month of school and was deemed
ineligible, along with the other form 3s, to play
Martin Osei Nyarko, who captained Prempeh to the national Milo football glory
in 2005, is a very wanted man in Ghana.
For the past few weeks, Martin, who is popularly known as Apio, has been chased by several premier league clubs.
King Faisal of Kumasi, Berekum Arsenals and Tano Bofoakwa all want to sign the Prempeh graduate.
King Faisal is the club leading the race to get his signature on a contract.
Faisal has met successfully with Apio's parents and the parents have advised their son to accept Faisal's offer, though
Apio prefers his dream club Asante Kotoko. Kotoko, however, has not expressed an interest in him so far.
But Apio is fully aware that a good showing in Faisal uniform could easily
attract him to the Champion Club of Ghana -- Asante Kotoko.
Martin is remembered for selflessly handing over the Prempeh captain's band to Ahmed Amoako
to help groom him for the future (i.e., the 2005/06 season).
