Despite being offered to Stoke City and Middlesbrough last season, Fosu-Mensah is still without a team. He has spoken about his struggles and has been working hard behind the scenes to secure a return to professional football. The midfielder believes that his hard work will not go unnoticed.

Fosu-Mensah has faced challenges in his search for a new club, including complications with agents who have spoken on his behalf without his knowledge. He estimates that around 80% of the agents who approached clubs and people he didn't know were involved in these issues.

Reflecting on last season, Fosu-Mensah noted that it was the first time in his career that he spent a season without a team. At his age, he finds this situation unusual but is determined to keep working hard. He believes that a fresh start is just what he needs, and he has been putting in consistent effort to prepare himself for a potential return to the football pitch.

Although Fosu-Mensah's last competitive match was in April 2023, he remains hopeful that he will be able to make a return to the game in the coming months. His current fitness regime and dedication to his training suggest that he may be ready to restart his career soon.
