Barcelona striker Memphis Depay has said he felt honoured meeting the President of Ghana Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo over the weekend.

The former Manchester United striker expressed his delight via a tweet on Saturday.

“Grateful to meet the president of a country that I love so much. Coming back home feels always amazing and Ghana is the future y’all stay tuned!,” he said.

Depay also took advantage of the meeting to present a jersey to Akufo-Addo.

“Oh and you know I had to bring a jersey of the best club in the world for the mister President,” he tweeted.

Depay arrived in Ghana during the week for a holiday and also took advantage of the visit to refurbish a room of a school for the blind in Gold Coast.

“The foundation for the deaf and blind! It’s always a special feeling when I come visit the school in Cape Coast. A lot of beautiful work is done but we not done yet,” he said.

He had a mild season with Barcelona following his switch from Monaco in France.
