28-year-old Ghanaian defender, Samuel Inkoom, has been banned by FIFA for one year after he was found guilty of cheating an agent in a transfer deal back in 2014.
The Ghanaian defender and former Kotoko defender has been ordered to pay Curtis Willet the agent who brokered his transfer deal $65,000 or in default serve a one-year ban.
Inkoom failed to pay the agent his full share of the money after he was transferred from Ukrainian side Dnipro three years ago.
The player later left for Bulgarian side FC Vereya without paying the agent who brokered the deal – leading to his decision to drag him to the world governing body FIFA who in turn triggered the ban on the defender.
The Bulgarian Football Union’s Disciplinary Commission sat on the player’s case when it started in 2014 before it went to FIFA.
