Right to Dream Founder, Tom Vernon, has named Kelvin Ofori as the best player he ever saw at the Academy.
The now famous academy, which started over 20 years ago, has produced many great talents who have become world beaters.
Mohammed Kudus, Ernest Nuamah, Kamaldeen Sulemana, and Ibrahim Osman are the names of Right to Dream graduates on the lips of many Ghanaians now.
However, Tom Vernon has singled out 22-year-old Kelvin Ofori as the greatest talent to emerge from Right to Dream
“The best player I ever saw here was Kelvin Ofori. He signed in Germany, now he's playing in Slovakia. He was skillful,” Vernon told Joy Sports.
"He was, you know, I don't like it when people call me telling me that they have a Messi-type player because he was a left-footed in that style.
"But it changes, you know, different stages, different players develop and then what matters is when you're fully grown, like, how it is.
"But if you talk about academy football, that's the best player. Even at Man United, I never saw a player as good as Kelvin Ofori."
