This is nice, it will give you valuable experience. Black Stars is not a joke these days, one has to really prove himself over and over again. Ghana midfielders comes in dozens so you really needs to be exceptional to be considered to play with the big boys. You can emulate Atsu’s path to stardom – HARD WORK AND MORE HARD WORK.
Wishing you all the best.
