Ghana's budding striker, Issa Mohammed who failed to make the 22-man squad for Mali 2002, is scheduled to join Lorrpking, a topflight first division team in Sweden, for a two-week trial.
The 21 year-old player who was part of the predominantly local squad which qualified the nations 23rd Africa Nations Cup, told GNA Sports in Accra on Tuesday on his way to the Swedish Consulate for visa that he would leave the shores of the country by next week.
The Hasaacas top marksman who finished fourth on the Star Premier League goal-king chart with 10 goals, expressed optimism of making the grade this time around after a string of unsuccessful trials with several European teams.
Issa Mohammed, a key player of the 1999 under-21 squad that won gold for Ghana in the Africa Youth Championship held in Accra in March the same year, was however evasive on which local club he intends to feature for should the trials fail.
"I may or may not play for Hasaacas in the next soccer season, but at the moment I want to concentrate on my trip", Issa Mohammed told the GNA, adding that the success of the trip would depend on his performance.
