Ghanaian Stars Shine Bright: 11 Players Who Lifted Trophies in the 2024/25 Season

The 2024/25 football season will be remembered not only for dramatic finishes and historic wins but also for the brilliant contributions of Ghanaian footballers across Europe and beyond. From England to Israel, Ghanaian players played pivotal roles—both on the pitch and from the sidelines—in helping their clubs secure silverware.

Here’s a look at some of the standout Ghanaian performers who ended the season with medals around their necks.

1. Henry Addo – Maccabi Tel Aviv (Israel)
Young forward Henry Addo played his part in Maccabi Tel Aviv’s charge to the Israeli Premier League title. While he was an unused substitute in the final matchday 5-0 win over Beitar Jerusalem, Addo’s performances earlier in the campaign helped the club maintain consistency en route to the title.

2. Ebenezer Annan – Red Star Belgrade (Serbia)
Following a productive loan stint at OFK Beograd, left-back Ebenezer Annan returned to Red Star Belgrade in January and quickly established himself. With 16 league appearances and a goal, he helped guide the Serbian giants to yet another SuperLiga triumph.

3. Bernard Tekpetey – Ludogorets (Bulgaria)
Despite battling injury for much of the season, Bernard Tekpetey added to his growing legacy in Bulgaria. The energetic forward celebrated his third straight Bulgarian Cup win with Ludogorets, who also clinched a league and cup double after edging CSKA Sofia in the final.

4. Eddie Nketiah – Crystal Palace (England)
It was a fairytale campaign for Crystal Palace, and Eddie Nketiah played a significant role in their historic FA Cup success—the club’s first major trophy in over a century. Coming off the bench in the final against Manchester City, Nketiah’s earlier contributions in the competition and subsequent brace against Wolves further highlighted his value.

5. Jeffrey Schlupp – Celtic & Crystal Palace (Scotland & England)
Schlupp had the rare distinction of collecting two winners’ medals in one season. While on loan at Celtic, he played a key role in helping them seal the Scottish Premiership. He also featured for Crystal Palace in the FA Cup earlier in the season, earning recognition as a joint winner.

6. Mohammed Fuseini – Union Saint-Gilloise (Belgium)
In one of the season’s most compelling stories, Mohammed Fuseini starred for Union Saint-Gilloise as they clinched the Belgian Pro League title for the first time since 1935. The 23-year-old forward netted nine goals in 33 appearances, matching his previous season’s tally and proving vital in the title push.

7. Emmanuel Mensah – FC Arges (Romania)
Emmanuel Mensah celebrated a major personal milestone by helping FC Arges Pitesti secure promotion to the Romanian Superliga. It marked his first major achievement in European football.

8. Abdul Salis Samed – Sunderland (England)
On loan from Lens, midfielder Abdul Salis Samed made 10 appearances for Sunderland, helping them achieve promotion to the English Premier League. His calm presence in midfield added depth and grit during a tense run-in.

9. Jonas Adjetey – FC Basel (Switzerland)
The towering defender was a rock at the back for FC Basel, making 32 appearances as the club stormed to the Swiss Super League title. A 4-0 win over Luzern on the final weekend sealed their dominance.

10. Isaac Pappoe – Ferencvaros (Hungary)
Young defender Isaac Pappoe won his first major title with Ferencvaros in the OTP Bank Liga. Though he featured only four times this season, he was part of the squad that clinched a narrow 2-1 win over ETO FC Győr to seal the championship.

11. Jarell Quansah – Liverpool FC (England)
The England-born Ghanaian defender, Jarell Amorin Quansah, had a season to remember. With a staggering 78 appearances across all competitions, the 22-year-old helped Liverpool secure the English Premier League title, drawing 1-1 with Crystal Palace on the final day at Anfield to confirm their status as champions.

From title races to cup finals, Ghanaian players have left their mark across Europe this season. Their contributions, whether through consistent performances, key moments, or strong squad presence, have once again elevated the country’s reputation in global football.
