Veteran defender John Mensah insists he's fit to play at top level, eyes Black Stars return

By Patrick Akoto

Former Ghana captain John Mensah insists he’s fit enough to play at the top level, setting an ambitious target of staging a return to the Black Stars.

The 32-year-old has been without a club since leaving Slovakian side Nitra last year.

The former Sunderland and Rennes strong centre-back has revealed his desire to return to the national team after a long absence and insists he’s physically fit enough to challenge the much younger defenders for a place in the team.

“I am very fit and will return to club football soon and probably Black Stars as well. I have not retired yet. Time will tell when I might finally retire. I am in talks with some clubs and we hope the best comes out of it.” he is quoted by footballmadeinghana.

Mensah has remained coy over his next destination after a move to an unnamed Indian side hit the rock.
