Wealdstone FC Issues Statement on Player’s Unauthorized Baller League Game
National League club Wealdstone FC released a statement after midfielder Sak Hassan appeared in Baller League without club approval. Hassan played for Prime FC, owned by KSI, and scored the opening goal against N5 FC.
The club’s statement reads: “We are aware that Sak Hassan, under contract with Wealdstone FC, appeared in this evening’s Baller League. The club was not approached for permission for Sak to participate, nor were we made aware of his involvement in advance. We will now be following up with both the Baller League and the player directly. No further comment will be made until those discussions have taken place.”
KSI explained to Chunkz how he recruited Hassan: “You mentioned him to me, so I talked to him and I was like, ‘bro, I got a big thing coming.’ At this point, I didn’t mention Daggers… I was like bro, I’ve got big things… so, there is that, and then also said, bro, think of the clout.”
