President John Mahama's son Sharaf: I will consider to become a professional footballer

Sharaf Mahama, son of Ghana President John Mahama, says he will consider playing football as a profession if the opportunity presents itself.

The 22-year-old, who studies in Dubai, featured in last Saturday's testimonial match for ex-Ghana captain Stephen Appiah.

'If football presents itself, why not (I'll consider becoming a professional soccer player),' he told GTV's Kwabena Yeboah after the game on Saturday.

In March this year, Sharaf was spotted in the stands to support UAE-based Asamoah Gyan play in a league match for his club Al Ain.
