His mother Regina Nuamah who is a Kumasi-based grocery shop owner, revealed this in an exclusive interview with to Eben TV, that the family was not in favour of Nuamah pursuing a football career over education.
“To be every honest, we didn’t want him to play football. We wanted him to go to school because he was ill-educated. There is a woman, who is our neighbour. She didn’t have TV, we had one.
“So, all the children would gather in our room. What used to make me feel sad was that when texts pop up on the screen, all the children will be reading. I would ask him ‘Nana, can you read what just appeared? he would just stare at me. He is also the quiet sort, so I would ask him, and he would walk out. It really hurt me,”she revealed.
The Denmark based Ghanaian forward has been described as the next big thing to happen to Ghana football following his exploits at the Danish Superliga this season.
Nuamah, 19, has received his maiden Black Stars call-up ahead of Ghana’s 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against Madagascar on June 18.
The talented forward was part of Black Meteors squad who made it to the Africa U23 Championship to be staged in Morocco between 24 June and 8 July 2023.
The youngster joined Right To Dream Academy at a very tender age before moving to sister club FC Nordsjaeland last year.
