Jordan Ayew
European football expert, Reuben Obodai brings you a comprehensive update on how Ghanaian players performed in abroad this weekend.
There were so many great performances from Ghanaian players across the globe but one that stands tall among the lot is Albert Adomah. I believe this chap has shown over the course of the season that he's indeed reached the level many expected from him years ago.
The speedy winger cum striker exhibited why he's been the Villans most rated player as he netted his 14 league goal and provided a beautiful assist to inch his closer to promotion.
Meanwhile, Jordan Ayew nearly cost Swansea City a point after he was given his marching orders in the early minutes of their draw against Huddlesfield Town.
Elsewhere, Joseph Paintsil continues to impress in Hungary as he put in a fine shift and scored for Ferenvarosi in their heavy victory.
