Anthony Annan wants to become a key member of the Osasuna set-up
Ghana midfielder Anthony Annan says he is determined to make the most of his season long-loan spell at Spanish side Osasuna.
Annan moved from German Bundesliga side Schalke 04 where he was surplus to requirements.
The 26-year-old debuted for Los Rojillos in their 2-0 reverse at newly promoted Celta de Vigo before the international break.
Annan had a successful loan spell at Dutch Eredivisie side Vitesse Arnhem and helped them to secure a Europa League slot.
He knows he must step up his game to be a regular in José Luis Mendilibar’s side.
“Of course there was a player playing in my position before I moved there so I have to work hard to gain that position after that. I think about impressing in the league,” Annan said.
“Last season they finished in 9th position so we have to improve upon that as well.”
Annan scored in Ghana’s 2-0 win over Malawi last Saturday in a 2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.

No doubt, Annan will be able to gain a permanent position at Osasuna pretty soon. Pablo is a serious player.
i still dont understand why he didnt make the cut at schalke 04.
if u talk about intercepting passes n moves from opponent teams,then annan is the main man.but i guess that was not much in the bundesliga becuz here in germany a number six u hav to be able to score goals n annan aint that kind of player who scores on a regular basis but he has got other qualities.he was a delight to watch at afcon 2008,worldcup 2010.
i wish him the best of luck in thespanish cuty of panploma.
GIVE HIM THE CAPTAIN ARMBAND. ASIDE FROM MUNTARI, ESSIEN N JOHN MENASAH, ANNAN IS THE ONLY PLAYER WHO DESERVES. I SAID DESERVES THE CAPTAIN ARMBAND. DEREK BOATENG IS USELESS, AND GYAN IS SELFISH. INFACT, HOW CAN A SAUDI LEAGUE PLAYER BE CAPTAIN OF GBSTAR? SINCE HE JOINED AL AIN, LOOK AT HIS PERFORMANCE FOR GBSTAR AS A STRIKER? WOEFUL! AND AA GIVES HIM THE CAPTAIN ON TOP OF DAT? JESUS CHRIST!
AA, 16 YRS AS AN APPRENTICE FOR GBSTAR AND U STILL CANT WIN ON THE ROAD. ONLY WINNIGN AT HOME TO PERENNIAL AFROCAN UNDERDOGS NA WOP3….GFA ARE FOOLS. THEY CANT SEE THE DIOFFERENCE BETWEEN A REAL BURGER(DESAILLY) AND A KOKOASE, AFUOM BURGER, AKWASI APPIAH
If the 4 pctnhiig If the 4 pctnhiig horses decided to join, Canada would have won Saturday and we would have probably moved to the next round. We have the bats, but overmatched in pctnhiig.
