Ghana international Samuel Inkoom has been banned for a year by the Federation of International Football (FIFA) for his failure to pay an agent Andrew Evans.<\/p>\n

The defender had signed a contract with the agent which states that the latter will receive 10% of Inkoom\u2019s gross salary and onward transfer fee.<\/p>\n

However Inkoom failed to comply by the agreement after joining Ukrainian Club Dnipro from Swiss giants FC Basel in 2011.<\/p>\n

Evans, the said agent has since written to FIFA to take action against the Ghana right-back.<\/p>\n

FIFA months ago wrote to the Ghana Football Association to alert the Ghana star on the issue.<\/p>\n

Inkoom having breached the contract has now been banned for the next 12 months.<\/p>\n

The player will now need to cough out a staggering 352,500 euros to his agent before his ban will be lifted.<\/p>\n

A statement by FIFA reads:\u201dIn view of the notification dated 20.06.2017, pursuant to item 4 the decision of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee of 15.12.2014, DS of BFU imposed to Samuel Inkoom- a former competitor of FC \u2018Vereya\u2019 Stara Zagora punishment suspension of competition rights for a period of one (one) year or until \u00a0the date of payment of the entire \u00a0amount owed to the creditor.\u201d<\/p>\n

This means the 25-year-old must keep himself away of any football related activities until he pays the said amount.<\/p>\n

The former Kotoko player has not earned an invitation to the Black Stars team since 2012.<\/p>\n

He was a member of the Ghana U20 squad that made history by winning the 2009 FIFA World Youth Championship in Egypt.<\/p>\n

Until recently, the defender played for Bulgarian Club\u00a0Vereya.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
