Ghana legend Dan Owusu has heaped praise on teen star Felix Afena-Gyan while tipping him to attain greater height of his career.
The enterprising forward led Black Stars’ attack in the crucial playoff against West African rivals last month where Ghana defeated Nigeria on an away goal rule to qualify for fourth World Cup tournament.
Gyan gave a good account of himself in both legs and has become fans favourite in the country.
The 19-year-old is expected to be part of the squad for the big tournament in Qatar.
In an interview with Koforidua-based Bryt FM, the former Kotoko star indicated Afena Gyan is an asset for the country considering his performance in the two-legged tie against Nigeria.
“Afena Gyan is not a bad striker and I believe he can be a great player in the future considering his performance at the moment. I was so impressed with his runs, how he positions himself on the field of play. He just has to maintain himself well to be a top player” he said.
This season, Afena-Gyan has progressed from the Roma U19 team to the senior team, where he works with the renowned Jose Mourinho.
He has two goals in 14 league games.
