Tagoe admitted however that he would take several factors into consideration before deciding on his next destination. “Whichever club I decide to join eventually should not affect my place in the Black Stars as my biggest priority like all others is to be part of the Ghana squad for the 2010 World Cup. I have to make sure that I join a club that I can play day in and day out and not just go and warm the bench and lose my place in the national team,” he added. When 90 MINUTES contacted John Paintsil of Fulham's interest in Prince Tagoe, he confirmed to us: “Yeah the Fulham scouts contacted me and asked me about Prince Tagoe which I gave them my opinion and told them that Prince is my national team colleague and a deadly finisher as well.”
