Benjamin Tetteh, a former striker for Sparta Praha, believes he could have performed much better during his time in Turkey.
The attacker played for the Turkish team Yeni Malatyaspor from 2020 to 2022 before agreeing to a contract with Hull City in the English Championship last summer.
The 25-year-old was directly involved in 24 goals in 60 games across all competitions during his time at Malatyaspor.
“If I had worked harder, I could have done way better. I didn’t take it too easy [in Turkey] but I just didn’t do enough for myself,” he told Star Connect.
“That was the inspiration for coming to England because there you go hard or you go home. Because after I terminated my contract with Malatyaspor I could have gone to Arabia or anywhere I wanted but when the offer came from England I was like ‘okay’.”
The Black Stars attacker noted that he has had bids from England in the past, so his transfer to Hull City wasn’t unexpected.
“I wasn’t because when I was in Sparta [Prague], I had quite a number of Premier League clubs that wanted me but there were management issues so it couldn’t happen,”
Benjamin Tetteh has made eight appearances and assisted two goals in the Championship this season.
