Ghana U20 midfielder Kennedy Ashia has likened his style to Barcelona captain Xavi and will prefer a move to the Spanish La Liga.

The Liberty Professionals player put up a decent performance at the just ended 2013 FIFA U20 World Cup in Turkey.

Ashia thrives playing behind the lead striker and has been described as a game changer.

The 19-year-old will be fondly remembered for his thunderbolt strike in the 3-2 win against Portugal in the round of 16 clash.

''The way they play the La Liga is very exciting and my role model is Xavi," Ashia said.

"I love the way he plays and I always watch him so I learn a lot from him. I'll love to play in the La Liga."

Ashia claims he has received offers from a lot of European clubs but no deal has been announced by either the player or his club.
