Ghanaian striker Benjamin Tetteh has joined Metz in France
For an unknown amount, Ghanaian attacker Benjamin Tetteh has finalised a permanent move to recently promoted French Ligue 1 club FC Metz.
The 26-year-old joined the English Championship team from Turkish club Yeni Malatyaspor in July of last year. He appeared in 17 games for the Tigers during the 2022/23 season, albeit his progress was limited by injury.
Among his outstanding performances, Tetteh scored the City’s lone goal in a 2-0 home win over West Bromwich Albion in March. His strong angled strike, which was named Goal of the Month, demonstrated his skill on the pitch.
He also had three assists, two of which came against the Baggies. Furthermore, he was instrumental in earning a penalty from which Ozan Tufan scored our first goal of the previous season against Bristol City.
Tetteh, who spent a year with Dreams FC during his childhood career, has seven Black Stars outings to his name.
Coach Laryea Kingston acknowledged his satisfaction in helping to create Ghana’s U-17 squad, the Black Starlets.
Kingston announced his resignation as Black Starlets coach on Saturday, following the team’s 2-1 loss to Burkina Faso in the WAFU B U-17 Championship semi-finals.
Ghana’s failure means they did not qualify for the U-17 Africa Cup of Nations and the World Cup.
During the post-match press conference, the former Black Stars winger announced his intention to leave, promising to disclose more details later.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) confirmed Kingston’s decision in a statement on Sunday, noting that he has resigned with one game remaining.
The GFA also accused Kingston of using improper language and failing to attend the post-match team meeting with management and technical staff.
Despite the issue, Kingston appeared to have no malice towards the GFA. In his WhatsApp post, he added, “…long live GFA,” and thanked the squad, stating, “Love you guys so much, son.”
This statement came in reaction to a post by team captain Benjamin Tsivanyo, who called Kingston a father figure. Tsivanyo uploaded a photo of himself with Kingston, titled “Much love, father.”
Ghana will meet Nigeria in the competition’s third-place playoff on May 28.
