It's not April 1st, although admittedly the story originated from Ghana where turmoil following the recent general election creates a need for some light relief. However, it is being claimed that the New York Red Bulls have an interest in Omar Bogle: https://www.onceametro.com/2021/1/7/22218799/red-bulls-linked-to-charlton-striker-omar-bogle
Admittedly, the writer does describe Bogle as a 'journeyman' and says his signing would be a 'reclamation' project which is one way of putting it. I see this story as light relief on a bleak winter day. I always recall when Flight Lieutenant Gerry Rawlings (who died recently) seized power in a coup in Ghana but kept his rank, earning a state visit to Windsor Castle.
Recent obituaries of Rawlings were very mixed, but he was at least a very distinctive ruler who liked to travel around on a motor bike.
