Ex-Ghana international Augustine Arhinful has hailed the decision of John Pantsil to sign for second-tier side Leicester City. The ex-West Ham and Fulham right-back opted to drop down the tiers of English football despite being heavily linked to some top-flight clubs in Europe. Concerns have raised about his new move with fears that he might lose his national team place. Arhinful told Happy FM: �I think he made the right choice because the championship is very competitive and popular than some of the European top leagues and that is a fact.� He added that :�It�s very important he gets regular playing time and that for me is more crucial for him to maintain his place in the Black Stars. �It doesn�t make sense to warm the bench of a top-flight if you will play regular with a second division side so to speak.�
