Freddy Adu’s hopes of playing in the Championship this season have been dashed. After a three-week trial with Blackpool (English D2), the American international of Ghanaian origin failed to impress the club’s leadership, as reported by L’Equipe. Despite the opportunity to showcase his skills, Adu did not convince the English club, leading to their decision not to offer him a contract.
This setback adds to Adu’s string of disappointments, especially considering the high expectations that surrounded him in previous years due to his talent. The 24-year-old has been in search of a team since departing from Bahia (Brazil). Previously, he had stints with clubs like Benfica and Monaco, but he has been without a contract since the conclusion of his time with Bahia.
