His journey began at WAFA before earning a move to Austrian giants Red Bull Salzburg and later joining Belgian side Cercle Brugge.
His visit has been hailed as an inspiring reminder of humility and staying connected to one’s roots.
Agyekum’s community engagement comes as he eyes further growth with both club and country.
