The former Barcelona player has been in Ghana since last week, marking his third visit to his father’s birthplace. He was in Ghana last year and has previously visited for philanthropic purposes.
Last year, Depay arrived in Ghana with fellow Dutch footballer Quincy Promes and had the opportunity to meet President Nana AKufo-Addo at Jubilee House, but this year he arrived with former Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum.
