The man described as Africa�s best football agent has showered praises on Ghanaian players abroad for their winning mentality. Africa�s super agent Ralph Nkomo has stated that European football clubs and agents always consider Ghanaian players first when they want to sign Africans. �When European clubs and agents want African players they consider Ghanaian players first because they are highly talented, discipline, cool to work with and have the winning mentality,� the Zimbabwean told Soccer Africa. �Ghanaian players are rated very high everywhere they go in Europe and elsewhere.� Nkomo, who is regarded as the continent�s best football agent, is Portsmouth�s chief scout in Africa, who has a galaxy of stars on his player management company, Ralph Sports International�s client list. Some of the top African players he has represented include Benjani Mwaruwari, Nigerian stars Nwankwo Kanu and John Utaka, St�phane Sess�gnon of Benin, as well as Algerian international Nadir Belhadj. Tottenham�s France defender Youn�s Kaboul, Belgian goalkeeper Glenn Verbauwhede and Germany�s Kevin Pezzoni are some of the European players under Nkomo�s management. He, however, co-manages some of the players with European agents.
