scoring 21 goals does not make him the best player.
Yes i agree with you. They could have named him the most exciting player instead of the best player. From the way he seems to be running all over the place looking for contracts and catching none for now, i just hope he doesn’t end up like Kweku Essien.
How can a team that couldn’t make it to the London Olympics be named team of the year??? Ghana paa.. Under-23 team yi ye team??
