The outgoing, confident Inkoom, 20, joined FC Basel at the start of the season and his only real difficulties have been with the highway code.
"The driving here is more difficult, there are a lot of rules," he told Reuters after a five-minute trip in a shining Volkswagen Scirocco from FC Basel's St Jakob Park stadium to his comfortable but unassuming flat.
"They have a limit which you are supposed to go at, if you go faster than that, they will flash you, they fine you and you have to pay."
"In Ghana, you're free," added Inkoom, who had to restrain himself from pulling across two lanes of oncoming traffic - a normal manoeuvre back home - as he left the stadium car park.
"I believe that we are going to live the ultimate," he said, bristling with confidence. "If you are determined and focused in football, I believe you can achieve what you want."
"We are united and we have the quality," he said.
"If you see the senior and junior players, it's amazing. Michael Essien is great, you can ask him anything you want, anytime. Stephen Appiah is the same, he is a good captain, he encourages players.
"Milovan Rajevac is a very good coach, he comes to you and shows you the plan, he goes through it with you one to one, he shows you what to do, he makes us understand football."
Inkoom's new home, in a quiet Basel suburb, is a world away from the teeming streets of the steamy port of Sekondi where he grew up.
"My father was a teacher and he told me I couldn't go, he wanted me to go to school," said Inkoom. "So I ran away from home. One day, I just took some things and left.
"Then, my father would come and watch me play and he would argue with my coach telling me he wanted me to come home."
Inkoom, who says his parents are now among his biggest fans, ended up being signed by Ashante Kotoko, Ghana's most popular club, where he quickly became a firm favourite.
