Frank Acheampong wants to run like his idol Usain Bolt

Ghana U20 star Frank Acheampong wants to replicate the form of superstar sprinter and role model Usain Bolt on the field of play.

The 19-year-old with his lightening pace appears to have won a permanent role in the first team of Anderlecht – a club he joined just in April.

The Ghana international now wants to notch up his performance by replicating the form of his idol Usain Bolt who has just won the 100 and 200m gold at the ongoing World Athletics Championships in Russia.

“Bolt is my idol. I like the way he runs. I try to do the same thing when I get the ball on the field,”

“When I was young, I was not so fast as that. I learnt to be fast when growing up, speed is my weapon.

“God gave me the football talent, but I had to explore to get the speed.”
