Ghana's Accam 'regrets' not joining Stoke City in 2016

Ghana international David Accam has expressed disappointment over his failed move to then English Premier League side Stoke City in 2016.

The Philadelphia Union attacker, then on the books of another Major League Soccer outfit Chicago Fire, was strongly linked to The Potters after he joined the club for a week on trials ahead of the January transfer window.

Against all expectations, no deal was announced with Stoke City, who said Accam only came around to "keep fit" and not to pursue a move.

“I was close to joining them, I trained with them and there were talks for me to possibly join them but an injury set it,” Accam said on GH One TV.
