“Honestly, I never dreamt of playing professional football outside but my humility and discipline has brought me to America and I am enjoy, now I can give my mother something because she suffered for me,”
He added” “I will urge all Ghanaian footballers to put their talent aside as that alone cannot take them far, is all about humility, discipline and having the favour of God,”
