Bastia lead race to sign Ghana U20 captain Lartey

French side Bastia have inquired about the availability of Ghana U20 captain Lawrence Lartey.

The Ligue 1 outfit want to snap up the stalwart centre-back before this summer's FIFA U20 World Cup in Turkey.


Lartey is reported to be on the wish list of many European clubs following his sterling display at the African Youth Championship in Algeria.

But his Ghana Premier League side AshantiGold want to listen to other offers probably after the World Youth Cup.


He was named in the tournament's Best XI after skippering Ghana to win silver-losing 5-4 on penalties to Egypt in the final.
