Black Stars defender, Gideon Mensah has said playing in the French league has been the toughest so far in his football career.
Mensah on Tuesday expressed appreciation to French club Bordeaux after a season on loan from Austrian Bundesliga club Red Bull Salzburg.
“The French league is the toughest one I’ve played in my career so far, and it has been a good learning experience playing against world class players,” Mensah said on The Asaase Breakfast Show on Wednesday (15 June).
“My football journey has been a very straightforward one… unlike most people, I got my opportunity [to play] at the big time at a very early age,” he told the host Kwaku Nhyira-Addo.
“My Black Stars journey has not been easy because we went to the AFCON [Africa Cup of Nations] and I had not played a single game, but to have the trust from the new coach has been great for me,” he said.
The Black Stars defender who is returning to Austrian side Red Bull Salzburg said he would love to play in the Spanish or English Premier League one day.
“I would love to play in the Spanish and/or English Premier League. I am a very aggressive player and these two leagues I think will fit my style of play,” he said.
