Exclusively speaking to Footy-Africa, Ghanaian youngster Mohammed Sofo has admitted he harbors ambitions of playing in Europe’s top five leagues but insists his immediate focus is on helping New York Red Bulls succeed in the Major League Soccer (MLS).
The 20-year-old forward was recently elevated to the Red Bulls senior team after impressing with the reserves, New York Red Bulls II, in the MLS Next Pro, where he registered 10 goals and seven assists in 33 games.
This term alone, he has made 24 appearances with eight goals for the senior team.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with Footy-Africa, Sofo said he views his promotion was a crucial step in his career but maintains his long-term dream is to feature at the very highest level in Europe.
“Of course, like many young players, I dream of playing in Europe’s biggest leagues, England, Spain, Germany, Italy, France. That’s the ultimate stage,” Sofo revealed. “But right now, my full focus is here with New York Red Bulls. The team has trusted me with this opportunity, and I want to give my all to help us achieve big things this season.”
“This is just the start of what I want to achieve,” he said. “I know it takes hard work and consistency to make it to Europe, and I believe Red Bulls is the right place to build myself for that challenge.”
While he is yet to feature for Ghana’s senior national team, the Black Stars, Sofo remains optimistic his progress will eventually earn him a call-up.
