Prince Tagoe (born 9 November 1986) is a Ghanaian footballer who plays as a striker.

Club career

Early career

While playing for Accra Hearts of Oak SC, Tagoe became the top goalscorer of the 2005 Ghana Premier League with 18 goals.[1] In January 2006, Tagoe was close to sign for 1. FSV Mainz 05, but the transfer failed,[2] and he moved to Saudi Arabian side Ittihad FC.[3] After six months, he moved to another Middle East country, this time to United Arab Emirates and signed for Al Shabab Al Arabi Club. After a year and 15 league goals for Al Shabab, Tagoe returned to Saudi Arabia to play for Ettifaq FC. He spent two years with Ettifaq and also had a great effect during the 2009 AFC Champions League with 8 goals in 6 matches.[4]

Hoffenheim

On 9 June 2009, Tagoe signed a three-year contract with the Bundesliga side TSG 1899 Hoffenheim,[5] but he was released from his contract on 1 August after 1 year due to heart issues.[6] Tagoe's lawyer contested the dismissal as a second opinion did not yield evidence of a heart condition.[7] On 20 August, Tagoe was resigned to Hoffenheim after an announcement that his earlier release had contravened FIFA regulations.[8] Tagoe was originally unable to play in the Bundesliga as his playing license was revoked when it was revealed that the original documentation of his physical examinations had been faked.[9] As a result of the falsification of the data, Deutsche Fußball Liga requested further medical examinations in order to assess Tagoe's fitness.[10] On 21 October, DFL announced the health issue was not significant enough to warrant the cancellation of his contract and that the player could be in a position to have his license reinstated pending the results of the final test in December 2009.[11] This medical test showed that he was fit and had not a cardiac defect.[12] On 11 January 2010, Tagoe had his playing license reinstated and was eligible to play for his club.[13]

Finally, on 30 January 2010, Tagoe made his debut for the club, coming on as an 82nd minute substitute for Boris Vukčević, in a league match versus FC Schalke 04. He scored his first goal for the club in the DFB-Pokal quarter-finals against SV Werder Bremen on 9 February. His first Bundesliga goals came on 1 May 2010 against Eintracht Frankfurt, when he came from the bench and scored a brace for a 2–1 away victory.

Loan to Partizan

On 31 January 2011, Tagoe joined Serbian club FK Partizan on loan until the end of the season, with a view to a permanent deal.[14] He marked his competitive debut scoring a brace in a league match against FK Inđija. Tagoe also scored a goal in the next two rounds against FK Hajduk Kula (away) and OFK Beograd (home). He continued his fantastic start for Partizan with two goals in the first leg of the Serbian Cup semi-final against cross-town rivals FK Crvena zvezda.[15] During his stint at Partizan, Tagoe scored 12 times (12 league and 3 cup goals), as the club win the double. Despite his good performances, Tagoe did not stay at the club.

Bursaspor

On 1 September 2011, Tagoe signed a three-year deal with Turkish side Bursaspor. He scored his first goal for Bursa in a 1–1 draw against Orduspor on 26 October 2011. he scored 8 goal in 17 league appearances during the 2011–12 season.

International career

Tagoe was called to the national team for the 2006 Africa Cup of Nations by the coach Ratomir Dujković. He only played a total of 49 minutes for his team which did not make it into the quarter-finals.

He was selected by the coach Milovan Rajevac as part of the final 23-man squad for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. He played in all three group matches, as a starter, but did not enter on the pitch in the knockout stage, where Ghana was eliminated by Uruguay in the quarter-finals.
