The Dutch international, Georginio Wijnaldum, paid a visit to the National Chief Imam, Sheikh Osman Nuhu Sharabutu, at his residence in Fadama, Accra, on July 3.
Wijnaldum and his fellow Dutch footballer Memphis Depay are currently in Ghana for their summer break following a demanding season.
A photo captured Wijnaldum shaking hands with the Chief Imam, who blessed him with Islamic prayers. Prior to the visit, Wijnaldum spent time at a gym interacting with aspiring boxers and also explored the Black Star Square.
In the coming days, he will travel to Italy to join AS Roma for pre-season preparations. It is noteworthy that Wijnaldum used to be known as Georginio Boateng earlier in his career but changed his surname.
He inherited the name from his stepfather but decided to change it after his parents divorced. Wijnaldum, a winner of the Premier League, Ligue 1, and Champions League, has earned 86 caps for the Netherlands national team.
