Dutch and Corinthians forward Memphis Depay has taken to social media to express his excitement after featuring and scoring in a small-sided game in Nima, a town in Ghana\u2019s capital, Accra.<\/p>\n

Nima is a small town in Ghana and home to many football stars, including Black Stars talisman Mohammed Kudus.<\/p>\n

Depay touched down in Ghana last week as part of his off-season holiday trip after the Brazilian league concluded earlier in December.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Depay was spotted at Bukom with long-time friend and one of the Independent presidential candidates during the 2024 election, Nana Kwame Bediako, Cheddar, as they watched amateur boxers battle it out.<\/p>\n

The former Manchester United attacker continued his relaxation period in Ghana on Tuesday as fans throng Nima to watch the Corinthians man feature in a small-sided game at a local park.<\/p>\n

Depay took to X, formerly Twitter, to express his excitement after the occasion.<\/p>\n

\u201cScored my first goal in Nima yesterday, sending my love to the community there. It was great sharing a moment with y\u2019all! #Ghana,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

Memphis Depay, who is of Ghanaian descent, featured prominently for Corinthians in the just-ended Brazilian season, providing eight goal contributions after joining as a free agent in September.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old scored seven times and assisted once in 11 games and will be hoping to continue on the same tangent next season.<\/p>\n
