While in Ghana, Depay meets President, puts on boxing gloves and continues to have a good time.

Barcelona star Memphis Depay continues his adventure in west African giants Ghana.

Depay arrived in Ghana earlier this week after representing the Netherlands in the UEFA Nations League.

The 28-year-old forward was greeted with a traditional dance upon his arrival in Ghana.

Born in the Netherlands to Ghanaian father Dennis Depay and Dutch mother Cora Schensema, Memphis was eligable to play for the Black Stars of Ghana but decided to represent his birth country.

Memphis Depay was born on February 13, 1994, in a South Holland village called Moordrecht.

The town was a Dutch African migrant town where emptiness ended when was a football at anyone’s feet as football was a means for the committee members to bond together.

The Barcelona striker has rejected the name Depay because of the bad blood between him and his Ghanaian father Dennis.

Dennis Depay and Cora Schensema separated when Memphis was at the age of four and the player once stated that he will never forgive his father for abandoning him.

“I will never forgive him. Do not call me Depay, call me Memphis,”

He told the BBC in an interview.

The father responded to the allegations as he stated that he never abandoned Memphis even after the divorce.

“Saying that I didn’t see him after he was four is a lie, It is unbelievable, it is not nice. He is my son and I love him. I am the man who gave him his first ball,”

He told The Sun

Depay was able to meet the first citizen in Ghana during his visit. The Barcelona man met up with Ghanaian President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

Depay made it known through a message on his official Instagram account. In the post, Depay posted a photo presenting his Barcelona jersey to the Ghanaian President.

Along with the post was a message that said, “I had the pleasure to sit down with the president of Ghana and talk about some beautiful topics, also the minister of sports and the minister of education we’re present.

“I spoke about the @memphis.foundation and told them that I love the country a lot. I believe the future of Ghana is bright.”

Depay in the photos put on his gloves to spar at the gym and was also involved in the community.
